South Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia are recalling nearly 1.9 million vehicles in the United States to fix brake lights and airbags, the US government said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The brake light recall affects Hyundai and Kia vehicles in model years between 2007 and 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.<\/p>\n
Hyundai Motor Company, South Korea’s largest automaker, notified the NHTSA it was recalling about one million vehicles to fix a faulty stop light switch that increases the risk of a crash.<\/p>\n
The malfunction may prevent the brake lights from illuminating when the brake pedal is depressed or may prevent deactivation of the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal.<\/p>\n
