SUMMARY: Hyundai and Kia are recalling nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to a potential fire risk caused by an electronic controller in the oil pump. The automakers are advising owners to park the vehicles outside and away from structures until repairs can be made. The recalls include certain 2023 and 2024 Hyundai and Kia models, including the Palisades, Tucson, Sonata, Elantra, Kona, Soul, Sportage, and Seltos. The companies have reported incidents of melting components but no fires or injuries. Dealers will inspect and replace the oil pump controller as necessary. Owners will be notified in late September.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers passed House Bill 1640, limiting the time people can be held in jail awaiting mental health care. The law states that individuals awaiting civil commitment can only be held for 48 hours unless facing criminal charges. The aim is to provide timely mental health treatment rather than keeping individuals in jail. The law will go into effect on July 1.
