Hyundai Recall 427,000 Units of Tucson SUV

First time launched in September of 2020, the automaker reviewed 180,000 of the SUVs for a fire hazard identified with their ABS brakes‘ hydraulic electronic control unit.  

This week Hyundai has filed documents with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the expansion of the Tucson fire recall to 427,000 additional vehicles. First time launched in September of 2020, the automaker reviewed 180,000 of the SUVs for a fire hazard identified with their ABS brakes’ hydraulic electronic control unit.  

Repeatedly this month Hyundai is disclosing to some SUV owners to park their vehicles outside in the parking area, as there is an electric shorting in the computer that can lead to a fire in the vehicle. 

The electronic control unit for the anti-lock braking system can get corroded that can cause shorting, which started sparks in 12 realized motor engines, as indicated by Hyundai. The recall will incorporate 180,000 models.

Hyundai informed owners that they can still drive their vehicles until the service is performed, yet Hyundai also suggests leaving their vehicle outside their house, and carports until the fix is finished. Defected car owners may notice some changes in their vehicle such as smoke from the engine, melting odor, and also notice check engine light illuminates.
