Hyundai Recall 2023: Understanding the Risks

The recall is prompted by an electrical short in the antilock braking system (ABS) module, leading to brake fluid leakage onto the electronic circuit board. This leakage can cause a short circuit, ultimately resulting in a fire within the engine compartment. Owners of the affected vehicles are strongly advised to park their cars outside and away from other structures until the necessary recall fix is implemented.
