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.

BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE SUDDENLY BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN EITHER COMPLETELY OR PARTIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OBSTRUCTING LINE OF VISION AND BECOMING UNUSABLE. THE BREAK OCCURRED AT THE SAME LOCATION ON BOTH SUN VISORS - THE PLASTIC ROD BROKE JUST ABOVE WHERE THE VISOR IS SCREW MOUNTED ONTO THE CEILING OF THE CAR.
Exterior lighting, Service brakes, Jul 29, 2017
MY STOP LAMP SWITCH FAILED. THE NHTSA SITE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH MY YEAR AND MODEL FOR THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND OR ASSEMBLY. MINE FAILED, BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT MY SPECIFIC VIN IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WELL THE PROBLEM IS WIDER THAN REPORTED OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THE PROOF IS MY SWITCH FAILED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM THE CAR HAD BEEN ON THE DRIVEWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN. THE FAILURE MANIFESTED ITSELF RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT IN USE AND HAD NOT BEEN IN USE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ON GOING, BUT I MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICE.

WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY ON COLLEGE CAMPUS LOOKING FOR PARKING SPACE AS I HAVE DONE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE OFFICE FOR 45 YEARS WHEN SUDDENLY THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH RATE AND ROLLED OVER UPSIDE DOWN. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. WINDSHIELD AND FRONT OF ROOF COLLAPSED FROM ROLLOVER! I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT PRESS DOWN THE GAS PEDAL BY MISTAKE. I AM SURE. THIS COULD VERY LIKELY KILLED ANYONE WALKING OR DRIVING IN FRONT OF THIS CRAZY CAR.

FOR A FEW MONTHS I HAD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR WHEN MY CAR WAS IDLING ON A CITY STREET FACING DOWNHILL (AT A STOP SIGN). THEN IT GOT SUDDENLY WORSE FOR 2 DAYS, SO THAT IT RATTLED ALL THE TIME WHEN IDLING IN DRIVE OR PARK (STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR SIGNS OR IN A PARKING SPACE). THEN IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RATTLING - AND THE NEXT DAY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE HIGHWAY, ON THE 4TH OF JULY, NOTIFIED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A COINCIDENCE OR NOT.

PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME DISCONNECTED AND ITS WEIGHT PULLED ITS WIRE OUT 2 INCHES SO THAT IT WOULD NOT GO BACK IN AND WOULD NOT STAY UP ANYMORE. NOW IT IS COMPLETELY OFF AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED WITHOUT HAVING THE ELECTRICAL HOOKED UP TO RUN THE MIRROR LIGHT, WHICH IS REALLY ANNOYING.

WHILE I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, WEATHER IT BE AT 10MPH OR 55MPH, MY EPS LIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND MY CAR WILL STOP. IT WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL MY CAR IS STOPPED, TURNED OFF. AND TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. SINCE THE POWER STEERING IS LOST I CAN NOT JUST TURN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE COMING UP BEHIND ME AND HIT ME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. BEFORE THAT WILL HAPPEN FOR TWO WEEKS MY ALARM WILL GO OFF AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL MY CARS EPS AND E BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT THEN THE CYCLE WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN. THE MOST FREQUENT TIEM THIS HAPPENED WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 99W IN DUNDEE OREGON, I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND MY CARS EPS AND E BREAK .LIGHT TURNED ON AND I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT MANY TIMES TO A DEALERSHIP TO FIX BUT THEY JUST CHARGE ME MONEY AND SAY ITS FIXED, BUT THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I WILL SUE, I AM SO OVER MY CAR THREATENING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY LOVED ONES.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR IT WILL SQUEAK CONSTANTLY. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 98000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. I AM TOLD THE CAR NEEDS A PART IN THE STEERING WHICH WILL COST $2000.00 JUST FOR THE PART.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE AND KEPT FALLING DOWN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $278 JUST FOR THE PART AND SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE EXTRA FOR INSTALLING. THIS WAS WAY TOO COSTLY, SO I TRIED TAPING UP THE SUN VISOR, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK AS THE TAPE KEPT GIVING AWAY AND THE SUN VISOR FALLING WOULD INTERFERE WITH MY VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INSTALLED A USED SUN VISOR AT THE COST OF $117. THE VERY NEXT WEEK THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND FELL DOWN IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER AS THE DRIVERS SIDE (THAT I HAD REPAIRED THE WEEK BEFORE). I DECIDED TO DO AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR AND EVERYWHERE I LOOKED I FOUND PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI SUN VISORS NOT ONLY MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BUT OTHER YEARS MODELS OF HYUNDAI AND MODELS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN IN YOUR LINE OF VISIBILITY AND INTERFERES WITH YOUR ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD CLEARLY AND IT CLEARLY IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND I ONLY HAVE 72000 MOLES ON MY VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE FALLING APART ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT OR MOVING THE SUN VISOR IT JUST FALLS AND WILL NOT STAY UP.
Structure, Sep 15, 2016
PASSENGER VISOR FAILED A FEW MONTHS AGO. DRIVER VISOR FAILED SHORTLY AFTER (AROUND 60,000 MILES). THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI'S MANUFACTURED AFTER 2007. DEALER WOULD CHARGE $176 PER VISOR, BUT ABSORB THE COST OF INSTALLATION. ONE PASSENGER BANGED HER HEAD WHEN GETTING IN THE CAR. DRIVER'S VISOR HAS FALLEN ON MY HEAD SEVERAL TIMES -- A HAZARD IN MY OPINION.

THE BRAKE SWITCH HAD TO REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. THE THREE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THIS WAS A COMMON REPAIR ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA. 2007 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL. (RECALL CAMPAIGNS 110 AND 113.)

MY 2007 ELANTRA IS (LIKE ALL OF THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS EXPERIENCING A BREAK LIGHT THAT IS CHRONICALLY GOING OUT, EVEN AFTER GETTING THE STOP LAMP SWITCH REPLACED AND BEFORE THAT MULTIPLE LIGHT BULBS. AFTER GETTING THE SWITCH REPLACED, I WAS NOTIFIED 2 MONTHS-ISH LATER THAT MY BREAK LIGHT IS NOT ALLUMINATING. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT SHOWING UP AS A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH I KEEP FIND IT IN SERVICE CAMPAIGN #110 WHICH SAYS IT CAN CAUSE A CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING FOR YEARS. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I GET IT FIXED IT WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE NEXT TIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE THEY TELL ME MY BREAK LIGHT IS OUT.

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT DID NOT BREAK OFF COMPLETELY, BUT HUNG LOW, OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. I TRIED TO PUSH IT BACK IT UP AND IT WOULD NOT STAY FOR LONG AND CONTINUED TO FALL AS I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CONTINUES TO FALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE A SUN VISOR AS IT SERVES A CRITICAL PURPOSE IN ENSURING VISIBILITY. THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE IN A SIMILAR MANNER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT AS IMPACTFUL AS IT DOES NOT CORRECTLY CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD AND VISIBILITY DEFICIENCY WHILE DRIVING. THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEARLY $300.
