Has a recall been issued for your vehicle?
At least 1.5 million car models in Canada have been recalled for engine failures and fires. But more drivers could still be at risk. CBC Marketplace and Go Public are investigating the problems involving many Hyundai and Kia vehicles. We speak to Canadian motorists who are angry, confused and terrified to drive their own cars.
