Kia recalls Forte sedans because of increased fire risk.

Reuters (1/25, Beech) reports that Kia Motors announced the recall of 86,880 Forte sedans across the US due to a problem with the cooling fan resistor, which can overheat and possibly melt, raising the chances of a fire, according to NHTSA. Owners of affected vehicles can go to their dealers for replacement parts.

        The AP (1/25) reports that the recall “affects Kia Fortes made from Dec. 5, 2012, through April 17, 2014.”
