As recently as the early to mid-2000s, the reputations of South Korean automaker Hyundai and its sister brand Kia were in virtually different galaxies from those of its other Asian rivals, such as Toyota and Honda.

Hyundai is recalling more than 226,000 SUVs and small cars in the U.S. because the rearview camera image may not show up on the screens.

Hyundai has issued a recall affecting 226,118 vehicles due to faulty rearview cameras, which pose a heightened risk of rear-end collisions involving pedestrians, objects, or other vehicles. The defect also places the affected cars in violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) concerning rear visibility.
