What This Recall Means

Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

What Happened

The stop lamp switch in your vehicle controls your brake lights, cruise control, and transmission shift interlock. In some 2005-2007 Hyundai models, this switch can fail to work correctly, causing your brake lights to not turn on or stay on.

Risk if Unfixed

If the stop lamp switch fails, your brake lights may not work when you press the brake pedal, which could lead to a crash. You could also lose control of your transmission or cruise control, making it harder to drive safely.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty stop lamp switch with a new one, at no cost to you. This repair should be done as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
