What Happened
The Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module in your vehicle is a crucial computer that helps you stop quickly and safely. In some 2007-2011 Elantra and 2007-2008 Entourage and Santa Fe models, moisture can sneak in and cause a short circuit in this module.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, it could cause a fire in the engine compartment, even when your car is turned off. This increases the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will install a protective relay in the main junction box to prevent the ABS short-circuit, completely free of charge. You'll get a notification letter with instructions on when to bring your vehicle in for the repair.
