Dec 24 (Reuters) – Hyundai Motor is recalling 51,587 ‍vehicles in the U.S. because a short circuit in non-functioning trailer ‌lights, caused ‌by incorrect installation of the wiring harness, could increase the risk ​of fire, the U.S. ‍National Highway ​Traffic Safety ​Administration said on ‍Wednesday.

As a remedy, owners are advised to park outside and away ‍from structures until the recall repair is ‍complete. ‍Dealers will ​replace the ​trailer ⁠wiring harness, free ‌of charge, NHTSA added.
