BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT (RECALL 213)

Description: This bulletin describes the procedure to replace the brake master cylinder on certain 21MY Accent (HC) models. The brake master cylinder in the subject vehicles may have been produced with sharp edges on one of the master cylinder’s secondary inner cup seal seats, resulting in premature wear of the inner cup seal. Worn inner cup seals could reduce hydraulic pressure applied by the master cylinder resulting in reduced braking function at the wheels. The driver may experience longer brake pedal travel, change in pedal feel, and extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

CAUTION

  • Do not reuse drained fluid.
  • Always use genuine DOT4 brake fluid. Using non-genuine DOT4 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the brake system.
  • Verify dirt or other foreign matter does not contaminate the brake fluid.
  • Do not spill brake fluid onto the vehicle. This may lead to paint damage. If brake fluid contacts any paint surface, wash the surface off immediately with water.
  • The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each brake caliper. Add fluid as required.

 

Brake Bleeding Procedure:

1. After reassembly, bleed the brake system.
Use a hose placed in a partially filled container of brake fluid to catch brake fluid from the system.

2. Start with the rear right brake. Attach the clear hose to the brake bleed screw.
Have an assistant slowly pump the brake pedal several times and then fully hold the brake pedal down.
While the brake pedal is held down, open the brake bleed screw for a couple of seconds, then tighten the bleed screw.

3. Repeat two to three times until air bubbles are no longer present in the tube.

lb-ft 5.1-9.4
kgf.m 0.7-1.3
N.m 6.9-12.7

4. Always maintain proper brake fluid level in the reservoir.
After completing the procedure at the rear right position, repeat the procedure in the sequence shown until air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid.

5. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX (upper) level line.

6. Connect the GDS-M to the vehicle, and then select ‘HCU Air Bleeding Mode’.
System ⇒ ABS/ESP ⇒ HCU Air Bleeding Mode

7. Return to the rear right caliper. Attach the clear hose to the brake bleed screw.
Inform the assistant to select the rear right button to activate the HECU.
Once the HECU has activated, the assistant should press and release the brake pedal repeatedly at regular intervals.
When the activation stops, the assistant should hold the brake pedal down.
Open the brake bleed screw for a couple of seconds, then tighten the bleed screw.
The HECU will activate again. Follow the procedure above.

Chronology :

November 2021
On November 3, 2021, HMC informed HMA’s NASO of an investigation being conducted in Brazil involving certain Hyundai/Kia vehicles for an alleged low brake pedal condition. HMC requested NASO to recover master cylinders on thirty-five (35) Hyundai Accent vehicles based on lot information obtained from the supplier. NASO conducted a review of U.S. market field data and identified one (1) related warranty claim.

NASO requested recovery of the incident brake master cylinder; however, the component was lost in transit by the shipper.

On November 19, 2021, HMC informed NASO of its investigation result confirming that certain Hyundai Accent vehicles produced with brake master cylinders from the suspect range could damage the brake master cylinder’s inner cup seal resulting in reduced braking function.

Based on this information, on November 23, NASO convened its North American Safety Decision Authority and decided to conduct a safety recall of affected vehicles in the U.S. market.

Regarding field claim counts from all available data sources at the time of the filing, Hyundai is aware of one (1) vehicle that exhibited a braking concern, with a master cylinder replacement repair date of October 19, 2021.

Hyundai is not aware of any crashes, fires, or injuries related to the defect condition.
