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.

2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA - I RECENTLY SAW ON THE NATIONAL NEWS THAT THERE IS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE 2007 - 2008 ELANTRA DUE TO POSSIBLE FUEL PUMP STALLING IN TRAFFIC.

Seats, May 22, 2008, crash
I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION ON I35 IN SALEDO, TX IN NOVEMBER 2007. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE BEHIND A SEMI. I SWITCHED LANES (INTO THE LEFT) TO PASS THE SEMI WHEN I SAW A SEMI TIRE IN MY LANE. I HAD NO TIME TO REACT. THERE WAS A RETAINING WALL WITH NO SHOULDER ON MY LEFT AND A SEMI ON RIGHT - I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HIT THE TIRE. I WAS THROWN INTO THE RETAINING WALL WHERE THE FRONT END OF MY CAR STRUCK THE CONCRETE BARRIER. MY CAR CONTINUED TO SPIN, HITTING FRONT TO BACK, 3-4 MORE TIMES. DURING THE IMPACTS MY DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE (STUCK IN A RECLINED POSITION), WHICH RESULTED IN MY INJURY (L1 BURST FRACTURE). I WAS TAKEN IN AN AMBULANCE TO SCOTT & WHITE HOSPITAL WHERE I UNDERWENT EXTENSIVE SURGERY, AND A THREE WEEK STAY (MY FAMILY AND I LIVE IN FORNEY, TX). SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WORK AND AM CONTINUALLY SUFFERING COMPLICATIONS FROM THE BURST FRACTURE. HAD MY SEAT NOT BROKEN, I WOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION. *TR

Air bags, Jul 23, 2007, crash
I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST HYUNDAI. I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN A 07' HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN WHICH I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WAS 45 MPH AND I'M SURE THAT THE DRIVER WAS GOING AT LEAST THAT SPEED IF NOT FASTER. THE CRASH SMASHED THE DRIVER DOOR, A PORTION OF THE BACK SEAT DOOR AS WELL AS DISLODGING PART OF THE FRONT BUMPER. MY FRONT TIRE WAS ALSO FLAT AND BENT OUT OF SHAPE. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR SO I HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN I WAS HIT, I FELT AS IF I WAS ABOUT TO PASS OUT. MY VISION WAS BLACK AND FUZZY AND I FELT LIGHT-HEADED. I ENDED UP HAVING A LARGE BUMP ON MY HEAD, BRUISES ON MY SHOULDER AS WELL AS A BRUISE ON MY KNEE. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY BECAUSE HAD THE DRIVER BEEN GOING A LITTLE BIT FASTER OR HAD I BEEN IN A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT KILLED. ONE OF THE REASONS I PURCHASED THE CAR WAS BECAUSE OF ITS SO CALLED 5 STAR SAFETY RATING. HAD I KNOWN HYUNDAI HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR AIRBAGS I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I ALSO NOTICED ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS CAR FOR THE SAME REASON. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE DISFUNCTIONAL AIRBAGS IF NOT RECALL THE VEHICLE ALTOGETHER. FURTHERMORE I BELIEVE THEY NEED TO STOP ADVERTISING THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEMS ARE FIXED. I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT MY LEGAL OPTIONS ARE. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2007 HUNDAI ELANTRA IN JANUARY 2007. MY DAUGHTER ALSO PURCHASED THE SAME VEHICLE. WE BOTH NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT EVERYTHING ON THE ROAD WOULD PASS US. I TIMED MYSELF ON A MEASURED MILE AT 60 MPH AND DISCOVERED I WAS DOING 55 MPH. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HUNDAI HAS REPLACED SOME SPEEDOMETERS BUT APPARENTLY IT DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS OCCURRED TO ME THAT THIS WOULD ALSO GIVE YOU A BETTER MPG INDICATION THAN YOU ARE ACTUALLY GETTING. HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND WHAT IS THOUGHTS. MY DEALER HAD NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OR GREATER, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE FAILURE WAS PREVALENT WHEN THERE WAS EXTRA WEIGHT IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE EXTRA WEIGHT CHANGED THE REAR ALIGNMENT AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWAY. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO ALIGN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 8,252 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,783. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEFECT IS DUE TO UNEQUAL CAMBER AND TOE SETTINGS IS WHAT THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. SPECIALTY PARTS COMPANY ENGINEERS SUGGESTED REPLACING UPPER CONTROL ARMS THAT THE DEFECT WAS DUE TO POOR SUSPENSION. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED NUMEROUS REPAIR INVOICES AND PICTURES FOR THE VEHICLE.

DEAR REPRESENTATIVE I PURCHASED THE 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GS FOR MY SON IN DECEMBER DUE TO IT'S MARKET SAFETY RATINGS. I WAS ENSURED BY THE SALES TEAMS AND REPORTS THAT THIS CAR WAS SAFE. THIS MORNING MY SON WAS IN A BAD ACCIDENT, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR REAR SIDE WINDOW WAS CRUSHED, THE TOP OF CAR WAS PUSHED INWARD AND PINNED UNDER A PIPE FENCE, THE DRIVER SIDE WHERE THE GAS TANK WAS LOCATED WAS SMASHED TO THE POINT THAT COMPONENTS MELTED TOGETHER. ALSO, THERE WAS MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE TIRES/RIM, SIDE ,AND FRONT OF THE CAR. BUMPERS IN THE FRONT AND BACK WERE DISLODGED AND SHREDDED IN SOME AREAS. THIS \WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO SELL CARS THAT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE SUSTAINED. I WISH TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AGAINST HYUNDAI. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION'S COULD I REGISTER THE COMPLAINT WITH. HYUNDAI COULD HAVE COST MY SON HIS LIFE TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK.*AK
