The 2010 Kia Rondo has 2 recalls, both carrying fire risk: a software update addresses an engine control module that can fail to detect problems in time, potentially causing sudden power loss or an underhood fire.
The second recall involves the anti-lock brake control module, which can also cause an engine compartment fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven. Note that the engine control module recall only affects vehicles equipped with the 2.4L engine.
