Hyundai is recalling approximately 44,396 of its 2018 Santa Fe Sport vehicles because the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may malfunction and cause an internal electrical short. This defect can lead to a fire in the engine compartment while the vehicle is being driven or even when it is parked and the engine is off. This recall is an expansion of a previous recall for the same issue, and Hyundai dealers will replace the ABS multi-fuse at no cost to owners.
An electrical short within the ABS module can trigger a fire in the engine compartment, which significantly increases the risk of injury or property damage. Because these fires can occur while the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, owners are urged to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the repair is performed.
