EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

Manufacturer
Hyundai Motor Company
What Happened
The stop lamp switch in your vehicle is a critical switch that controls your brake lights, cruise control, and other safety features. It's like a central hub that makes sure your brake lights turn on when you press the brake pedal and your cruise control turns off when you hit the brakes.
Risk if Unfixed
If the stop lamp switch fails, your brake lights might not turn on when you step on the brake pedal, which can increase the risk of a crash. You might also struggle to turn off the cruise control by stepping on the brake pedal, and the car might not behave as expected when you shift gears. This could lead to a collision, especially if other drivers don't see you stopping.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty stop lamp switch with a new one at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.
