markets and international markets, hoping to find evidence of possible moisture interference. From April 2019 to December 2019, Hyundai Motors continued their analysis in warranty part returns from both U.S. In the remaining months of 2018, Hyundai continued to motor incidents in the field but was made aware of only one additional incident and decided to initiate a recovery of in-use ABS modules for random inspection.īy March 2019, a total of eleven new vehicles were surveyed (one new incident vehicle and ten previously in-use vehicles) but no sign of moisture ingress was apparent. By March 2018, Hyundai Motors could not properly confirm that internal shorting was caused by moisture ingress due to the extent of heat damage to the incident ABS Modules. After two of the three known incident parts were received in November 2017, Hyundai Motors analyzed the recovered parts for signs of internal shorting due to exposed brake fluid or moisture contamination.
On all three vehicles various fuses related to the Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module were found open, indicating the possible origin of the three internal shorts and engine combustion. Hyundai Motors immediately requested all field information that could possibly related to other incidents of internal engine combustion and found two additional reports of internal fires in Elantra vehicles. Hyundai Motor America received their first claim of an alleged engine fire on a 2007 Hyundai Elantra in October 2017. Over 400,000 Hyundai vehicles from 2006-2011 are under recall due to a risk of electrical shortage and increased risk of engine combustion. The estimated total of affected vehicles is 429,686
Electrical shorts within the affected ABS Modules’ may result in engine fires, even when the car is not being used. Laguna Hills, CA – – Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2006-2011 Elantra and 2007-2011 Elantra Touring vehicles citing the risk of short circuiting ABS modules.
