On 9/26/23 Recall #23V651000 was issued for my 2013 Hyundai Tucson. As of 2/9/24 the remedy is not available. How long does NHTSA give the auto maker to remedy the recall? Four months, to me, seems plenty of time to fix the problem. If you could let me know when the remedy should happen I would appreciate it. Thanks

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While this Recal has been announced since August, the Manufacturer and Dealerships have not fixed this issue nor do they have a projected date for a fix. In the mean time, they have stated that the vehicle could catch fire and should be parked outside away from structures. This has placed our family at risk, devalued our vehicle and has us considering purchasing another safer vehile putting our family in a financial strain. Furthermore, the only "fix" we are hearing about is to install a smaller value fuse that will not allow excessive current to ignite the leaking brake fluid. IN other words, they do not appear to bee fixing the rooot cause of the the issue: Leaking Brake Fluid! Leaking brake systems are a saftey concern of the highest magnitude, right up there with Tires and Steering. This is just insane. I recently had Lincoln replace two leaking front brake hoses under a recall and those would not leak fluid where it could be ignited. Hyundai should be held to the same standard of saftey and timeliness as other manufacturers. I would prefr that they just buy back the vehicle at this point.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I am writing about the recall on the Hyundai vehicles that apparently are at risk for catching fire. Hyundai sent a letter that told us to park it away from our house and garage structures. We got this letter in early November and I called customer service as well as emailed to find out when we would hear about a fix. First of all, to get to a human being takes a minimum of 4 minutes. Then, they can’t tell me a darn thing. I found out from my first contact that we would hear something by the “end of the month.” That was in November. Well, November came and went and it has started to snow. No one wants to park outside nor do we care to have the house and car catch fire. I called and emailed again on December 2nd and the line was, “Well, we just don’t have a fix yet. Keep waiting.” If this is so serious, why can’t someone figure this out? Surely they have engineers working for them who have some idea as to how to fix this. It can’t be that difficult. Take out the parts that catch fire and replace them with good parts. It is my feeling that they are looking a cheap way out since this involves so many vehicles. Next, I attempted to reach the corporate office through an email. They contacted my husband on December 5th and offered him $100. What are we supposed to do with that? We need the car fixed. The snowplow cannot plow the driveway with his car outside of the garage. I really need to know what the timeline is on this. I am so disgusted with the lack of communication and the poor customer service. Please, is there anything at all that can be done?

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, all warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel, at which point the contact observed smoke emanating from the engine compartment, prompting him to pull to the shoulder of the roadway. After a visual inspection of the engine compartment, he observed a small fire on some electrical wiring. The contact was able to extinguish the fire on his own. Neither a fire nor a police report were filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that ABS fluid was leaking onto the electrical wiring, resulting in a fire. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics); the VIN was included but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

On September 22 2023, I checked to see if my car had a recall item on it, and there is a recall involving the antilock brake system. After 2 months the resolution is the following “REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.OWNERS CAN CONTINUE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES; HOWEVER, HYUNDAI RECOMMENDS PARKING THEIR VEHICLES OUTSIDE AND AWAY FROM STRUCTURE UNTIL THE RECALL REMEDY IS AVAILABLE AND COMPLETED”. Additionally, my car has had 4 recalls, which has been completed. However, driving a car in which the remedy is to park away from structures when I live in a condo is worrisome and feel as though there should be a remedy for the safety of myself and my family.
