Summary

Hyundai is recalling approximately 25,715 of its 2012-2014 Veloster vehicles due to a defect in the Reverse Park Aid Sensor (RPAS). High conductive liquid may leak into the sensor, which can lead to an electrical short circuit. This short circuit can cause a fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven, posing a safety hazard to occupants and nearby structures. Owners should take their vehicle to a Hyundai dealer for a free inspection and replacement of the sensor and fuse.

Risk

A liquid leak into the reverse parking sensor can trigger an electrical short circuit, which directly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
