Details

What's wrong: Water may leak into the rear combination lamp assemblies and cause an incorrect gear display on the instrument panel or a delay in the engagement of the selected gear when the vehicle is shifted from park to reverse or drive.

Why it matters: If the incorrect gear is being displayed, the vehicle may move in an unintended direction, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will apply pads to prevent water intrusion into the combination lamp housing, free of charge. The recall began on April 14, 2015.
