There have been more than 3,000 complaints about certain Kia and Hyundai models for risk of catching fire, including claims of 103 injuries and one death in the USA.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced investigations into certain years of the Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe, and Kia Optima, Sorento and Soul models.

There could be up to 3 million Hyundai and Kia vehicles at an increased risk of catching fire.

Difficult words: complaint (when somebody complains about something – says that there is something wrong with it), claim (saying something which is not clear if it is true), announce (officially say something).
