A HUGE car brand is recalling 9,000 motors over fears they pose a fire risk.
Hyundai bosses are concerned that brake fluid could leak into the affected cars, potentially sparking engine fires.
The company is urging drivers to park vehicles in open spaces and away from flammable materials.
Hyundai Australia said in a recall notice: "Due to a manufacturing defect, brake fluid may leak into the Antilock Braking System (ABS) control module.
“This could cause an electrical short circuit leading to a vehicle engine compartment fire while parked or driving.
“A vehicle fire could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders and/or damage to property.

“Note: Affected vehicles should be parked in an open space and away from flammable materials and structures, i.e. not in a garage until the rectification is carried away.
“If your vehicle displays an engine warning light, please stop driving and contact your local Hyundai dealer,” they added.
The car manufacturer said the vehicles affected are the Hyundai ix35 and owners should contact an authorised dealership to have the correction work carried out for free.
This comes as five major carmakers are set to recall thousands of motors over safety fears relating to various faults with air bags and other components.
Kia, BMW, Renault, Tesla and Jaguar Land Rover are to voluntarily recall more than 76,000 vehicles, according to Korea’s transport ministry.
Yonhap news agency claims the issues are related to 37 different models.
Problems prompting the mass recall include a faulty airbag system in Kia's Niro EV, problems in the cooling pump wire connector of BMW's 528i, and transformer software problems in Renault Korea's Arkana SUV.
It is unclear if these issues will affect the same cars in the UK, as there has been no official announcement regarding recalls of the models in question, or concerns over any of the components.
