 ***IMPORTANT Dealer Stock and Retail Vehicles***

As required by federal law, dealers must not deliver new vehicles for sale or for lease to customers until all open recalls have been performed. Dealers should also perform all open recalls on used vehicles, demo and rental vehicles prior to placing them into customer use and whenever an affected vehicle is in the shop for any maintenance or repair.

 

Affected Vehicles

Hyundai has launched a safety recall in the United States to replace the parking brake switch on:

• Certain Model Year 2015 Hyundai Sonata sedans equipped with a manual parking brake
• Certain Model Year 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedans equipped with a manual parking brake

 

Description

Vehicles with a manual parking brake are equipped with an electrical switch to illuminate the parking brake warning light in the instrument cluster.

 

Corrosion in the electrical switch can result in the parking brake warning light intermittently not illuminating when the parking brake is applied.  If the vehicle is driven with the parking brake applied, symptoms can include parking brake noise, parking brake “drag,” and smoke and/or smell from the applied parking brake.  Driving with the parking brake applied may increase the risk of a crash.
