Kia names new top executive after global recall of over 100,000 vehicles

SEOUL--Kia Motors promoted the chief of its overseas operations to the company's top executive job after his predecessor resigned following a global recall of more than 100,000 vehicles due to defective wiring.

The new boss, Lee Hyoung-keun, will retain his current responsibilities while also overseeing domestic business, global corporate planning and production and labor-management relations, Kia spokesman Micheal Choo said Wednesday.

Lee, also known as Hank Lee, will take vice chairman as his title. He replaces Chung Sung-eun, who was one of two Kia CEOs, and stepped down on Friday.
