An electrical short from a defect on the Four-Pin Trailer Connector Harness for the Kia and Hyundai SUVs can catch fire even when they are off and parked.
. Four Tellurides and Palisades as well as four Sorentos have actually caught fire, while the remaining 50 vehicles so far involved have been instances of something melting without a fire occurring. The main reason that so many vehicles are caught up in this recall is because of the potential that many of these wiring harnesses might have been installed after the vehicle left the factory. As mentioned above, a dealer or owner could purchase that four-pin harness and install it.
One way to know if your vehicle is equipped with the problematic part is to call your Hyundai or Kia dealer and see if there is a record of that harness being installed. Even then, that's not a guarantee that you'll know and an inspection might be warranted, even if the dealer has no record of its installation. Also, this is only for the Hyundai or Kia"genuine" harness and not any aftermarket harness you may have installed.
