    I had a Kia Rio. They sent out a safety recall warning that an ABS leak could cause a short and it could catch fire (this is after the big problem of them being easy to steal).

    They’re was no fix at the time. The only advice on the recall was “avoid parking near structures” in case it set fire to buildings.

    Months later the fix was available: a smaller fuse that would blow before the short got hot enough to burn.
