According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Genesis is recalling nearly 100,000 vehicles due to a potentially deadly fire risk in certain models.
Federal safety regulators issued the recall following learning that water can enter the starter solenoid and cause an electrical short, which can lead to a fire in the engine compartment while the vehicle is parked or driving.
Warning indicators include engine smoke, a burning or melting odor, and difficulty or inability to start the engine.
The recall includes nine brands of Genesis, federal officials report. These are which ones are affected.
