Hyundai Motor is recalling over 135,000 of its vehicles that could pose a fire risk due to a manufacturing defect.

The carmaker's Santa Fe SUVs have received the recall notice, citing an improperly installed starter motor increasing the risk of an electrical short during a crash.

BMW dealers will replace the engine starter, free of charge, NHTSA said in the notice.

Toyota is recalling nearly 400,000 vehicles because the rearview camera may not display when backing up, increasing the risk of a crash, federal traffic safety regulators said earlier last week.

Included in the recall are 2022-2025 Toyota Tundras and Tundra hybrids and 2023-2025 Sequoia hybrids. The number of automobiles in the recall total 393,838, with the non-hybrid Tundra making up more than half of them.
