 Description of the problemIn july 2014, i visited my local hyundai dealership to take care of a recall notice that i had received and they promptly took care of two recalls, one of which was campaign 114 - replacing brake fluid and inspecting the hydraulic ecu (hecu). The recall has to do with the old fluid corroding portions of the hecu and causing brake failure. Well to that point, i had not had any brake failures or problems, but it was within a week of the inspection i applied the brakes very hard to stop and avoid hitting a car on the highway, the brakes worked fine, but upon hitting the brakes a second time, the pedal went all the way to floor before any braking was applied to the wheels. It stayed that way for the remainder of my trip (some 10-15 more miles) i attempted to pump the brakes and even stopped at a local gas station and turned the car off and on again to see if it remedied the problem, it did not. When i returned home, i began to look into what would cause this, and that is when found out that campaign 114 was in play to actually attempt to prevent this type of disaster. The next day i drove a different vehicle to work and when i returned home (still the month of july 2014) i tried the brakes on the hyundai again and they seemed to work fine. I cautiously drove the car and didn't have another failure until today, when i was on the highway and applied the brakes harder than usual, the very next braking event my pedal again went all the way to the floor. I assume that whenever a hard braking event occurs these symptoms return. I made it to work and spent 4-5 hours there and left early to the dealer told them the story and said they are working fine right now since the car was off and on again, and while they are still investigating this, they told me already that the hecu is checking out ok. This is dangerous and needs to be recalled.
