Manufacturer

What Happened
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module in your vehicle is the computer that helps your brakes stop smoothly. In some 2010-2015 Hyundai models, this computer could leak brake fluid and cause a short circuit, which can lead to a serious fire in the engine compartment.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, it could cause a fire in the engine area while you're parked or driving, potentially increasing the risk of injury or burns.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty ABS fuse for free, so be sure to schedule the repair after checking repair availability with your dealer. In the meantime, park your vehicle outside and away from any nearby buildings to minimize risks. This timing describes the original 2023 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
