Hyundai and Kia are telling owners of nearly 500,000 cars and SUVs to park them outside over concerns of fire and engine problems.

CNN reports the two Korean automakers have recalled a combined 484,577 vehicles, with Hyundai issuing recalls for certain 2016 through 2018 Santa Fe SUVs, 2017 and 2018 Santa Fe Sports, the 2019 Santa Fe XL and 2014 and 2015 Tucson SUVs; Kia is recalling Sportage SUVs from 2014 through 2016, and the 2016 through 2018 K900 sedan.

Hyundai’s parent company, Hyundai Motor Group, owns a controlling interest in Kia.

According to documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators, the automakers have received 11 reports of fires in the U.S. but no injuries. As a result, regulators are urging owners to park their vehicle outside until repairs are made.
