What Happened
The hydraulic fluid in your Genesis is the liquid that helps your brake system work smoothly. In certain 2009-2012 models, the fluid might not protect a critical computer that helps your brakes work correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If this computer corrodes, your brakes might not work as well as they should, making it harder to stop your vehicle, and increasing the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will check the computer and replace the brake fluid if necessary, all at no charge to you. You should schedule the service as soon as you receive the recall notice.
