Hyundai Motor America is recalling 37,997 of its 2021-2023 Elantra HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) models. A software error in the vehicle's motor control unit can cause the car to accelerate on its own after the driver releases the brake pedal. Hyundai dealers will provide a free software update to correct this issue, and owners were notified by mail starting in September 2023.
The software defect causes the vehicle to accelerate unexpectedly when the brake is released, which can lead to a loss of vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash.
Free motor control unit software update.
