What's wrong, in plain English

On vehicles with the left-foot braking feature, software in the electronic brake and vehicle control systems may cause weaker braking when that feature is used. This can mean the vehicle needs more distance to stop.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Until the updated repair is done, do not use the left-foot braking feature, and if you already had the recall repair, also avoid the 'N' E-shift feature.
3. Contact a Hyundai dealer; you can also call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460.
4. The repair is free.

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

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 25V065000.
