NHTSA recall 05V316000
Electronic Stability Control · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3.3 liter engines and electronic stability control (esc), the esc may have been programmed to be oversensitive to the onset of oversteering while driving on banked curves, causing inadvertent application of the front outside brake when esc activation may not be needed.
Why it matters: This may cause the vehicle to slow and may affect the path that the vehicle is traveling. Brake application caused by inadvertent esc activation may result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will reprogram the esc hydraulic electronic control unit. The recall began on July 29, 2005.
