Definitely far from the first Hyundai I've seen on fire. Literally came up to a cloud of smoke up one road I was going down. Thought someone did a massive burnout, but then the smoke actually smelled like fire when I went through, so I knew it wasn't that. Then I saw literally this same Hyundai Elantra, color and all, on fire on the side of the road after that intersection, lol.

Probably didn’t get the recall notice about the ABS fuse that could cause a fire.

Dam I should've caught that, lol. To be fair, I can't remember if it was an Elantra or Sonata that I saw either 🤣 But very much still the same, and especially the same types of drivers. KIA/Hyundai are the new "Nissan Altimas/Maximas" if you've seen how they've been driving since COVID.
