| Description of the problem | The brake pedal goes almost to the floor when the brakes are applied. I do not have much braking and i have changed the brake pads (front/rear) and bled the brakes and it did not help. I have read that the problem is with the hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu) and the part is covered under recall for the 2011 hyundai genesis (recall 13v489000). Since it is the same part that is used on the 2011 genesis, does the recall cover the equus which is the same car. |
