Hyundai Motor America is conducting a safety recall in the United States to repair the Anti-Lock Brake System (“ABS”) module in certain model year 2007 – 2010 Hyundai Elantra, 2009 – 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring, 2007 – 2008 Hyundai Entourage, and 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles.

What is the safety recall?
The subject vehicles are equipped with an Anti-Lock Brake System (“ABS”) module that remains energized when the vehicle is turnedoff. If moisture enters the electrical circuit of the ABS module a short circuit could develop. A specific causality allowing moisture to enter the ABS module electrical circuit has not yet been identified; however, because the ABS module is continually powered, an electrical short could develop even while the vehicle is turned off. If a short circuit occurs inside the ABS module, there could be an increased risk of an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of injury. The short circuit does not affect brakesystem operation.

What will Hyundai do?
Hyundai dealers will install a relay in the vehicle’s main junction box. This procedure will be performed at NO CHARGE.
