...so that it can easily be stolen.

I thought only Battery Electric vehicles burst into flames . . .

This is why I would temporarily stay away from larger Hyundai/Kia SUV’s (for now). At least the smaller Hyundai vehicles (Elantra, Venue and I believe recent production Konas) don’t have that issue. 🤞

Until repairs can be made, the automakers say owners should not park their vehicles near any structures or other vehicles.

That should be easy is a large city. /s

I’m not gonna look, but I’ve got $5 that owners could pull a fuse to eliminate the risk until the vehicle tow harness problem can be rectified.

If not, then there’s yet another reason not to buy the brands.

I promise you that there are NOT 571,000 newest cars of these couple of models with factory tow hitches installed. NOT.

I don’t know the motivation, but this is an attempt to demonize these Korean car companies. It’s BS.

You go ahead and buy American and Turkish pieces of cr@p. It leaves the good cars cheaper.

Why to tow hitches need circuit boards in the first place. There’s way to much electronics on cars. Each system is another future maintenance problem.
