Hyundai, Kia, recall SUVs; Mercedes also plans fixes
DETROIT (Reuters) — Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors are recalling more than 38,000 sport utility vehicles in the USA because of a problem with their electronic stability program, or anti-rollover devices, federal safety regulators said Thursday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said vehicles from the Korean automakers affected by the recalls included 30,558 Hyundai Tucson and 7,619 Kia Sportage SUVs. (Related: Hyundai, Kia shift gears to overtake competition)

Both are from the 2005 model year.

The problem with the electronic stability program (ESP) may cause the engine on the SUVs to reduce power automatically, and it could also cause a brake on one of the wheels to be applied without brake pedal activation by the driver, NHTSA said in an advisory on its Web site.

"Brake application caused by inadvertent ESP activation may result in a crash," the agency said.
