Hyundai Santa Fe Sport brake part may cause engine fire

NHTSA campaign 22V810000 · Reported 2022-10-27 · Hyundai Motor America

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious fire risk that can happen even while parked — park outside and away from structures until the repair is done.

⚠ 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 go bad and cause an electrical short. That short can start a fire in the engine compartment — and it can happen while you are driving or even while the car is sitting parked. Until it is fixed, Hyundai says to park the car outside and away from buildings. A dealer will replace a fuse in the brake system at no cost to you.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected. 2. Park outside and away from your home, garage, and other buildings. 3. Contact your Hyundai dealer or Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 (recall 237) to have the brake fuse replaced free of charge.
