Owners of two popular SUVs are being advised to park their vehicles outside and away from homes and other structures because of a potential fire hazard.

Hyundai Motor America and Kia America are making the recommendation for select models of  Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride.

In a press release, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says 'an accessory tow hitch sold through dealerships may allow moisture into the harness module, causing a short circuit. In some cases, an electrical short can cause a vehicle fire while driving or while parked and turned off'.
