South Korea's top car maker Hyundai Motor says it will recall nearly 600-thousand units in the United States over problems related to hood latches and brake warning lights.

According to the company and the U.S. National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, more than 437-thousand Santa Fes and Sante Fe SUVs manufactured between 2013 and 2017 are subject to the recall.

Faulty parts have been discovered that can cause the hood to suddenly open up while driving.

Another recall concerns substandard parking brake warning lights, affecting some 150-thousand Sonata and ten-thousand-800 Genesis sedans produced in 2015 or 2016.

Hyundai also plans a recall in Korea concerning the same issues.
