| Description of the problem | Nhtsa campaign # 18v-026 says the azera abs electronics can collect water and short out causing a fire while the car is in a garage or not being used. But failure of the electronics because of water leaking into the system also affects the operation of the abs where it cannot work when needed. The recall addresses rewiring the abs so no power is present in the water leaking abs module when the vehicle is not operating and parked but does not address failure of the abs without fire from water leakage when the vehicle is driven. Hyundai should replace all azera abs systems that are prone to water leakage to preclude the abs systems not working properly in and during braking emergencies. Unattended vehicle fires are one thing, abs failure to operate as designed because of water leakage during emergency braking risks my life and those of others. The faulty components should be replaced to preclude abs failures when emergency abs braking is needed. |
