Hyundai i30 Sedan recalled for fire risk
Hyundai Australia is recalling over 3000 hybrid-powered examples of the Hyundai i30 Sedan to fix an issue that could spark a vehicle fire.
"Due to a software issue, the hybrid power control unit could overheat during vehicle operation. If this occurs, it could lead to a vehicle fire," the company says in its recall notice.
"A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
"For precautionary measure, vehicles should be parked outdoors away from structures and other vehicles until the software update has been completed."
