WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Motor America will recall more than 94,000 Hyundai and Genesis vehicles in the United States over a potential fire risk caused by overheating power seat motors, according to U.S. transportation authorities.

The recall affects 94,622 vehicles, including certain 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis and 2017-2020 Genesis G80 models, according to a recall notice posted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Oct. 9.

The agency said the front power seat motors may overheat due to a stuck power seat control switch, potentially causing a fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven.

Owners have been advised to park their vehicles outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until repairs are completed, as a fire could increase the risk of injury.

A remedy for the defect is still under development, with notification letters to affected vehicle owners expected to be mailed Dec. 7, according to the agency.

华盛顿，10 月 16 日（韩联社）——据美国交通部门称，现代汽车美国公司将在美国召回超过 94,000 辆现代和捷恩斯汽车，原因是电动座椅电机过热可能引发火灾。

根据美国国家公路交通安全管理局 10 月 9 日发布的召回通知，此次召回涉及 94,622 辆汽车，其中包括某些 2015-2016 款现代 Genesis 和 2017-2020 款 Genesis G80 车型。

该机构表示，由于电动座椅控制开关卡住，前排电动座椅电机可能会过热，从而可能在车辆停放或行驶时引发火灾。

车主已被告知，在维修完成之前，应将车辆停放在室外，远离其他车辆或建筑物，因为火灾可能会增加受伤的风险。

据该机构称，缺陷的补救措施仍在制定中，预计将于 12 月 7 日向受影响的车主寄出通知信。
