POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 3011
SUMMARY:
Hyundai is recalling 3,011 model year 2005-2007 Elantra, Tucson, Sonata, Azera and Accent vehicles. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause
the brake lights to fail to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause the brake lights to remain illuminated when the brake pedal is
released. A defective stop lamp switch may also affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock feature so the transmission would not be
able to be shift out of the "PARK" position. It may also cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate, and it may not
deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is depressed.
CONSEQUENCE:
Any of these malfunctions could lead to a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during August 2009. Owners may contact Hyundai of Puerto
Rico customer service at 787-999-4310.
