DEFECT #1 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL
Posted on: 2015-10-20
Description
Hyundai motor america (hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 sonata vehicles manufactured may 28, 2014, to august 21, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with an antilock braking system (abs) warning light intended to warn the driver if there is an abs malfunction. In the event of an abs malfunction, the brake system warning light will illuminate, but the abs warning light will not illuminate. Since the vehicles have abs malfunction lights that do not illuminate, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 135, light vehicle brake systems.
Consequence
If the driver is alerted there is a brake system malfunction, but not specifically with the abs system, the driver may operate the vehicle unaware that the vehicle's brakes may lock up during hard braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will update the abs control unit software, free of charge. The recall is expected began on november 30, 2015. Owners may contact hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 134.
