The sedan's launch comes at a portentous moment for Hyundai Motor, which has faced engine -
related recall
problems in the U.S. and
supply chain problems in China, and for South Korea, Land of the Morning Calm, where anxiety is building about the PyeongChang Olympics in February.
It appears that Samsung wants to diversify its
supply chain in order to reduce the risk of battery
related problems like the ones the Galaxy Note 7 experienced.
