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 225,000 vehicles over concerns of a rearview camera failing. Six different vehicles from the Santa Fe and Elantra model lines are covered under the recall submitted by the carmaker on Nov. 21 and posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Wednesday.
