Oh, and 150000 Tuscons and Sportages in Australia have just been recalled also for fire risk in the abs wiring.
They advised people to park away from homes and buildings until they are fixed, Umm that's not exactly practical.

Long bow to draw - most expensive EV recall. I think GM Holds most expensive actual recall with their faulty airbags and another for their ignition issue.
The actual recall here is due to the LG batteries which is what the cost is for, each is around 11k to replace, multiply that by the number of cars (not huge) and there is the "most expensive recall."
I suspect it will hurt Hyundai in the reputation stakes but the actual cost of replacing will likely be paid for by LG or at least a share of that cost.
