Issue: Hyundai is conducting a special service campaign that provides anti-corrosion treatment to certain underbody components. Over time, components under the vehicle, including brake lines could corrode. If this happens, a brake line could fail and leak. A brake fluid leak can result in reduced braking. Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the underbody, including the brake lines. The dealer will apply an anti-corrosion treatment to certain parts, and replace the brake lines if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the cover seal of the windshield wiper motor could degrade over time. This could result in moisture ingress, which could lead to corrosion on the wiper motor’s circuit board. If the corrosion were to progress, the windshield wipers could function intermittently or become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor with a revised wiper motor.
