REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. auto safety regulators said Monday they had opened a probe into 16 separate recalls issued by Hyundai (005380.KS) and Kia (000270.KS) covering 6.4 million vehicles relating to brake fluid leaks that could result in fires. The automakers said internal brake fluid leaks can cause an electrical short that could lead to a fire. Kia said the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) in the vehicles may experience an electrical short as a result of brake fluid leaks. Hyundai said the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short. The September recall covered 1.73 million Kia Borrego, Cadenza, Forte, Sportage, K900, Optima, Soul Rio, Sorento and Rondo vehicles from various model years for each vehicle from 2010 through 2017.

Mr. McCulley had been getting along all right in Newark, N.J., with one Kia Soul between him, his wife and their young daughter. Mr. McCulley was born there and always wanted to return, so they moved to Pompano Beach in early 2022. By that time, after some car swaps, they were driving a 2022 Kia Forte, which he leased for $294 per month. ”She could walk to Aldi and get groceries,” Mr. McCulley said of his wife. For Mr. McCulley, it’s an illustration that even for people who look comfortably middle class, car expenses contribute to a feeling of being overwhelmed.

☆ A biotech company that once claimed to have a 'cure' for COVID-19 just filed for bankruptcy, sending shares plunging 61%
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-13 | by ( Morgan Chittum | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Sorrento Therapeutics plunged as much as 61% on Monday after the biotech company filed for bankruptcy. The company made headlines in 2020 after its founder claimed Sorrento discovered a COVID-19 "cure." Sorrento surged 243% in a day after the exec's comments, and later landed in the crosshairs of shortseller Hindenburg. Hindenburg released a scathing report on the biotech firm following Ji's comments, which caused Sorrento's stock to drastically decline in value. Over two years later the company has landed in bankruptcy court amid mounting debt and ongoing lawsuits, causing investors to offload shares and cut the company's stock value by more than half.
