What Happened
Your vehicle's Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module is like a brain that helps you stop smoothly. In some 2011-2015 Hyundai models, this module can leak brake fluid and cause an electrical short, which can lead to a fire in the engine compartment while you're parked or driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, there's a risk of the engine compartment catching fire while your car is parked or in motion. This could cause serious injury, so it's crucial to address this issue ASAP.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty ABS fuse at no cost to you. Park your vehicle in a safe location away from buildings until the repair is done, and you'll be all set.
