What's wrong, in plain English

Hyundai is recalling certain Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, and Santa Fe XL vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System module in these vehicles could malfunction and cause an electrical short. This electrical short could result in a fire in the engine compartment, whether the vehicle is parked or being driven, which can increase the risk of injury.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Until repaired, park outside and away from structures as a precaution.
3. Contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 for a dealer to replace the ABS multi-fuse if necessary; the repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V056000.
