Why This Matters: Engine Compartment Fire Risk
Hyundai Motor America has announced a critical safety recall, NHTSA ID 22V056000, affecting certain 2014-2015 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. This recall addresses a serious safety concern: the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may malfunction, leading to an electrical short. Such a short could result in an engine compartment fire, whether the vehicle is parked or being driven. This significantly increases the risk of injury to occupants and damage to property.
What's Being Recalled
This recall, identified by Hyundai's internal number 218, primarily targets the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module. The specific component is categorized as "SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE." An internal malfunction within this module can create an electrical short. While this recall specifically focuses on the 2014-2015 Hyundai Tucson, the broader recall campaign also includes certain 2016-2018 Santa Fe, 2017-2018 Santa Fe Sport, and 2019 Santa Fe XL models.
Important Safety Advisory: Park Outside
Due to the potential for an engine compartment fire, Hyundai strongly advises owners of affected vehicles to park outside and away from any structures. This "PARK OUTSIDE advisory" is a crucial safety measure to mitigate risks until the necessary recall repair is completed. Do not park your vehicle in a garage or near other flammable materials.
Manufacturer's Remedy
To address this safety concern, Hyundai dealers will replace the ABS multi-fuse in affected vehicles, free of charge. This repair is designed to prevent the electrical short within the ABS module. Owners of the 2015 Hyundai Tucson recall vehicles should not incur any cost for this service.
