Hyundai Santa Fe brake module can spark engine fire

NHTSA campaign 22V056000 · Reported 2022-02-03 · Hyundai Motor America

critical How serious is it? About this label

A fire that can start while the vehicle is parked or driving is a real injury risk; the notice does not tell you to stop driving, but parking outside and away from structures is important until the fuse is replaced.

⚠ Park outside, away from buildings — fire risk. See all such recalls.

What's wrong, in plain English

The control box for the anti-lock brakes can fail and cause an electrical short. That short can start a fire under the hood — and it can happen while the car is parked, not just while you are driving. The fix is to replace a fuse for that brake system, and it costs you nothing. Because a parked car can catch fire, Hyundai asks owners to park outside and away from houses, garages and other buildings until the work is done.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is covered.
2. Park outside and away from buildings, day and night, until the repair is complete.
3. Book the free fuse replacement with a Hyundai dealer, or call Hyundai at 1-855-371-9460 (recall 218).
