Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outside because an electronic controller in an oil pump can overheat and cause fires.

    Timing belt gets inspected at 60k miles and I believe replaced at 90k. I would assume belt slipping off at 10 years would be due to lack of proper maintenance.

      Not a belt, it was a chain. The car was regularly maintained and moderately driven (about 150k miles on the odo) - it’s a very common failure on these engines. They suck

        I’m pretty sure I read the chain on genesis engines gets replaced at 120k if applicable.
