Approximately 1,649,478 Hyundai vehicles are being recalled because the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module can leak brake fluid internally. This defect can cause an electrical short, leading to an engine compartment fire while the vehicle is either parked or being driven. Affected models include certain years of the Elantra, Sonata Hybrid, Accent, Tucson, Santa Fe, and several others manufactured between 2010 and 2015. Hyundai dealers will replace the ABS fuse free of charge to prevent this electrical failure.
Brake fluid leaking into the ABS module can create an electrical short circuit. This poses a significant fire hazard in the engine compartment, which can occur at any time, even when the vehicle is turned off and parked. Parking near structures while the defect is present increases the risk of property damage and personal injury.
