What Happened
Your vehicle's anti-lock brake system (ABS) is like a computer that helps you stop safely. The ABS module is a critical part of this system, but in some 2010-2015 Hyundai models, it can leak brake fluid and cause an electrical short.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, it could cause an engine compartment fire while you're parked or driving. This increases the risk of serious injury from burns or other damage.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the ABS fuse for free. They'll do this as soon as you schedule the repair, and you should park your vehicle in a safe location away from any buildings until the repair is complete.
