RECALL 242 ATTACHMENT A [AMENDED]
CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS LEADING UP TO DEFECT DECISION

July โ€“ November 2022

โ–On July 18, 2022, HyundaieBay logo Auto Canada Corp. (โ€œHACCโ€) initiated a NASO investigation into alleged 2012-2013 MY Veloster vehicle RPAS fires based on an inquiry made by Transport Canada (โ€œTCโ€).

โ– On July 21, 2022, HACC provided an update on its investigation to TC. The investigation was focused on certain HyundaieBay logo Veloster vehicles included in HACC Service Campaign C0288; a Canadian-market campaign issued to address issues with poor RPAS sensor detection operation.

โ– From August to November, HACC continued to monitor and analyze warranty data while providing updates to TC in support of additional inquiries made by the agency in their evaluation of vehicles associated with C0288 and HACC Recall R0212.

 

December 2022 โ€“ February 2023

โ– On December 20, 2022, Transport Canada sent HACC an information request for additional details on thermal events in vehicles covered by Service Campaign C0288.

โ– February 14, 2023, NASOโ€™s Technical Review Committee (โ€œTRCโ€) reviewed HACCโ€™s findings and expanded the investigation to include 2012-2017 MY Veloster vehicles.
