Subject: Recall 175: 2016-2018 Sonata Plug-In Hybrid Voltage Protection Device (Remedy Not Yet Available)
***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 announced, but not yet launched, a safety recall in the United States to replace the Voltage Protection Device (“VPD”) in certain:
- 2016-2018 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid vehicles produced from July 31, 2015 through August 31, 2017 by Hyundai Motor Company (“HMC”) in South Korea.
Description
The subject vehicles are equipped with a Voltage Protection Device (“VPD”) designed to monitor the hybrid battery’s state of charge and safeguard the hybrid battery from overvoltage by disconnecting the power to the electric motor. In limited instances, during the charging/discharging process, the hybrid battery could swell and inadvertently activate the VPD switch. If the VPD switch is activated while the vehicle is driven in the Electric Vehicle (“EV”) drive mode, the electric motor could become inoperative and the vehicle could lose motive power.
Service Action
- We are currently making preparations to implement the recall remedy. A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) will be provided when the remedy is available.
- For any customers that are currently experiencing a concern related to this recall, please confirm with Hyundai Techline that there are no revised instructions.
