Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2007-2010 Elantra and 2009-2011 Elantra Touring vehicles. On February 21, 2020 Hyundai expanded the recall to include 46,425 model year 2007-2008 Entourage and 2007 Santa Fe vehicles. Moisture may enter the Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module and result in an electrical short.
An electrical short within the ABS Module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay in the vehicle's main junction box to prevent the risk of an ABS short-circuit while the car is turned off, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2020. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 188.

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 ELANTRA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 14, 2006, THROUGH AUGUST 29, 2007. THE DRIVER'S SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR DETERMINES THE SEAT'S FORE AND AFT POSITION AND ALLOWS THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG TO DEPLOY AT THE PRESSURE APPROPRIATE FOR THAT SEATING POSITION, WITH A LOWER PRESSURE DEPLOYMENT IN THE MOST FORWARD SEATING POSITIONS. THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE MAY RECEIVE AN UNSTABLE ELECTRICAL SIGNAL FROM THE SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR SUCH THAT, IN A CRASH THAT REQUIRES DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY AT THE HIGHER PRESSURE THAN INTENDED IF THE SEAT WAS POSITION IN ONE OF THE FORWARD POSITIONS IN WHICH A LOWER PRESSURE DEPLOYMENT IS INTENDED.
A HIGHER PRESSURE DEPLOYMENT THAN INTENDED INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY RESULTING FROM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTING TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151.

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 ELANTRA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 14, 2006, THROUGH NOVEMBER 1, 2008. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATS IN THE VEHICLES CONTAIN A WEIGHT SENSOR DESIGNED TO DEACTIVATE THE RIGHT FRONTAL AIRBAG WHEN OCCUPANTS OF CERTAIN WEIGHTS OCCUPY THE SEAT. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR THE WEIGHT SENSOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE CENTER CONSOLE, BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THE CONNECTOR COULD BECOME CONTAMINATED AND MALFUNCTION SUCH THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY REGARDLESS OF THE WEIGHT OF THE OCCUPANT.
THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY IN CRASHES IN WHICH IT SHOULD NOT DEPLOY, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT FROM THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE WEIGHT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CONNECTOR TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTING TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS MODEL WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH BUT THE HYUNDAI INFORMS ME MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. I SUSPECT IT MAY BE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

IN SEPTEMBER 2012, FRIEND TOLD ME MY LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WORKED AND DID NOT WORK. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE MY CONCERN. SO THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN THE PROBLEM AGAIN. NOW, I'VE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTING. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I SEE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN APRIL 2013. WHY AM I ONLY BEING NOTIFIED NOW?? ESPECIALLY WHEN I BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THEIR ATTENTION 6 MONTHS EARLIER AND THEY HAVE RECORD OF IT IN THE DEALER'S DATABASE?? *TR

AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A MAIN ROAD IN MY TOWN MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I WAS NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES OR THE GAS, JUST COASTING INTO THE TURN. LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD AND I LOST POWER COMPLETELY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, BUT THE THIS WAS THE SCARIEST PLACE IT OCCURRED AT. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY REFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALER, BUT I'M NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE RESULTS. DEFINITELY CAME CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I DID HAVE MY PREGNANT FRIEND IN THE CAR. WE WERE THE ONLY PASSENGERS. *TR

MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS SUPPOSEDLY PREVIOUSLY A PART OF HYUNDAI RECALL NUMBER 092 FOR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILURE. ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED ON MARCH 09, 2010. I UNDERSTAND NOW THERE IS A NEW RECALL OUT THERE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION OF THIS RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN APRIL OF 2013. SO I AM ASSUMING THAT ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI MY VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THIS RECALL. THIS WILL BE VERIFIED WITH ANOTHER PHONE CALL TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE.. MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAS FAILED AGAIN AND I AM WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AND SAFETY ORIENTED AS A SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE BRAKE LIGHT FUNCTION OF YOUR VEHICLE COULD FAIL TWICE WITHIN A 6 YEAR PERIOD. UNLESS BOTH PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. IN FACT IN MY PAST OWNERSHIP OF MANY VEHICLES AND ALSO OF THE VEHICLES OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS SWITCH FAILING ONCE LET ALONE TWICE! HYUNDAI IS TELLING ME THAT SINCE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED ON THIS CAR IN 2010 (BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR) THAT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS REPAIR OR RECALL. THE CAMPAIGN ID# FOR THE LATEST RECALL IS 13V113000. IT WAS ISSUED BY HYUNDAI-KIA AMERICA TECHNICAL CENTER INC. HOW AM I TO BE SURE THAT WHEN THE CAR WAS REPAIRED (IF IT WAS REPAIRED PROPERLY OR AT ALL) IN 2010 IT WAS NOT REPAIRED WITH THE PART FROM THE CURRENT RECALL? THE VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED AND I WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE ONCE AGAIN. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I ALSO LEARNED OF PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. ALSO WITH THE SUN VISORS CRACKING AT THEIR PLASTIC CONNECTING POINT. CAUSING THE SUN VISOR TO FALL OFF AND THE WIRING TO BE EXPOSED. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY EXPERIENCED BOTH OF THESE ISSUES. *JB

LAST JAN WE HAD OUR PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FALL WITHOUT ANY MANIPULATION AND AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI THEY TOLD US THAT THE SCREWS WHICH ARE HOLDING THEM TOGETHER ARE RUSTED. IN JULY 2012 THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR ALSO FELL OFF AND WE TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI AND THEY QUOTED US $380 JUST TO HAVE IT FIXED. IT WAS HYUNDAI WHO PLACED UNUSABLE AND RUSTED PARTS IN VEHICLES AND LATER STATED THAT WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD NEED TO FURNISH THE PAYMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT WE ARE NOT AT FAULT FOR. ALSO ABS LIGHT COMES UP AND EVEN AFTER CHANGING ALL THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, DOES NOT RESOLVE. IT IS THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH MADE THE VISORS COME OFF AND HANG BY THE WIRES SO WHY SHOULD WE BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS?? PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

A FRIEND DRIVING BEHIND ME NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. WHEN WE PARKED WE TESTED THEM AND NONE OF THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WORK. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG MY BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING BUT IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING I DRIVE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN A CITY DAILY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL (CAMPAIGN 09V122000) THAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE THE 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA THAT I DRIVE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED (YET). I AM ALSO BOTHERED THAT I HAD TO DO ALL THIS RESEARCH. WHEN THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE ENTERED MY VIN, THIS RECALL DOESN'T EVEN SHOW UP AS A POSSIBLE INCLUSION. I UNDERSTAND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT CONSIDERING OTHER VEHICLES OF MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS PARTICULAR RECALL, I WOULD HAVE HOPED THAT IT WOULD RED FLAG OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE. OR AT THE VERY LEAST, WHEN A RECALL DOES OCCUR, OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES SHOULD BE INFORMED IN AN EFFORT FOR THOSE OWNERS TO WATCH OUT FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE. *TR

WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE AT SHOPPING CENTER COMING TO STOP THEN CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED OVER A PARKING STOP POST AND CURB GOING INTO A BUILDING I MANAGED TO GET BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING THE BUILDING .. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. WHILE READING PROBLEMS ABOUT THE 2007 MODEL I FOUND ANOTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS LOOKING AT PROBLEM DUE TO A POPPING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE. THERE SEEM TO BE MANY OF THOSE ALREADY REPORTED. WE TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60,000 MILES AND WE HAVE 68,000 NOW SO THEY WANTED $65 JUST TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. WHILE 2007 YEAR MODEL HAS NO RECALL IT SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STOP SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED AND AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LOCK WAS DISABLED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V122000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:SWITCHES:BRAKE LIGHT). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

HYUNDAI DIDN'T FULLY ASSESS RECALL ID # 09V122000 ON THE BRAKE STOP LIGHT. MINE HAS MALFUNCTIONED TWICE IN 1.5 YEARS, YET THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT I AM NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN ALSO INVOLVE THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT STOPPING, SHIFTING PROBLEMS, AND A POSSIBLE REAR-END ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN TO - MORE PEOPLE THAN ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED CAN BE AT SERIOUS RISK - NOT TO MENTION MORE PEOPLE ARE PAYING TO HAVING THIS FIXED BY THEIR DEALER (I.E. ME) THAN THERE SHOULD BE! *TR

OWN A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. LAST YEAR I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AFTER THE SHIFT GEAR LOCKED ON ME IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFT TO THE PARKED POSITION HAD TO USE A SCREW DRIVER TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE GEAR AND SHIFTED TO PARK. I DROVE MY CAR HOME THAT DAY THE NEXT DAY I USED A SCREW DRIVER AGAIN AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER OTHER DRIVER ON THE ROAD BLEW THEIR HORNS ALERTED ME THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. EVENTHOUGH MY HEAD LIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS WERE ON. I PULLED OVER AND SURE ENOUGH THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I AGAIN WENT THROUGH THE MOTIONS WITH THE SHIFTER AND MANAGE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER WITH THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON. AT THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE SWITCH THAT OPERATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND SHIFT GEAR BURNT OUT AND WAS REPLACED. I EXPRESSED THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION, DRIVING AROUND WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE DEALER JUST BRUSHED IT OFF AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. WELL YESTERDAY (9/11/08) IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN ON MY WAY TO MY JOB IN JERSEY CITY NEW JERSEY. THE SHIFTER LOCKED IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE GEAR TO PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE IN ORDER TO DRIVE TO MY JOB A FEW MINUTES AWAY FROM THE INCIDENT. AT 11PM I DROVE FROM MY JOB TO MY HOME, WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS MORNING I DROVE MY CAR UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS TO THE HYUNDAI IN NORTH PLAINFIELD, NEW JERSEY TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. AGAIN I EXPRESSED THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SITUATION HOW IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALER AGAIN INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY BRAKE SWITCH, THEY CHANGED THE SWITCH AND TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED THAT I SHOULD NOT EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN. I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOUR AGENCY BECAUSE THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION HAVING NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND SHIFTER LOCKING INTO PLACE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I FEEL THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
