It's time for another fire-risk recall from the Korean duo! Yet another problem for their infamous decade of vehicles '10-'19 roughly. Skipping immobilizers, undersized wiring (fire), leaking brake fluid (fire), garbage GDI 4-cyl engines (fire), leaking high pressure fuel pumps (fire), trailer wiring defects (fire) and more just weren't enough. Now another brake fluid leak in the braking system can cause another short and cause a fire.

The "fix" is a fuse replacement. It doesn't fix the actual leak so it's a band-aid at best. But also par for the course for the duo.

Oh no, someone is excited about their toy but made the mistake of trying to be clever about it in public.

Honestly, I figured you were being sincere about not loving your children as much as an inanimate object.

I appreciate that.

My kids tell me they can't always tell when I'm being sarcastic or not as well. I mean there is that backwards question mark to identify what is and isn't sarcasm but hell if I know how to type it...!?
