New York Auto Show, 2024: Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra, now in its seventh generation, is a no-nonsense compact sedan for the many people in America who still want one but are stuck with only SUVs to choose from. Credit Hyundai for still meeting demands of a forgotten market segment. And with a base price of $21,625, the 2024 Elantra is a steal.

The Elantra has a base 1.6-liter four with an optional two-liter four, mated to a seven-speed continuous variable automatic transmission.

DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES


Posted on: 2017-12-04
Description
Hyundai motor company (hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2014 elantra sedan, coupe and gt vehicles.  The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released.  This will allow the brake lights to remain illuminated continuously.  It can also allow the shift lever to be moved without depressing the brake pedal, or activate the engine management brake pedal override feature.

Consequence
If the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping.  Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of park without depressing the brake pedal.  Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin february 8, 2018.  Owners may contact hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 170.  This campaign expands recall 16v574.  

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
