Hyundai Motor America is recalling 94,622 vehicles in the United States because front power-seat motors could overheat and cause a fire, according to a recall notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall covers certain 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis sedans and 2017-2020 Genesis G80 models. NHTSA said a power-seat control switch can become stuck, allowing the seat motor to overheat. A fire could occur while an affected vehicle is parked or being driven, increasing the risk of injury.

Owners are advised to park affected vehicles outdoors and away from other vehicles and structures until repairs are completed. Hyundai is still developing a remedy for the defect, and notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners on Dec. 7.
