| Description of the problem | My 2015 hyundai santa fe has been recalled due to the anti-lock system (abs) modules that could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrica short over time. The piston seals in the abs modules's hydraulic valve could leak brake fluid into the electronic control unit (euc) . An electrical short in the abs module could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire. The safety recall letter i received 12-24-20 stated to call the nearest hyundai dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to have this repaired. I called on jan 12, 2021 to my dealership and was told the parts to fix the recall were not in yet and they could not tell me when they would be available. I find this to be very concerning that i may have a car that anytime could catch on fire and hyundai cannot fix it. |
