NHTSA recall 15V566000
Exterior Lighting · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the brake light switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning brake light switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning brake light switch may also prevent the shifter from being moved out of the park position.
Why it matters: Failure to illuminate the brake lights during braking or the inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake switch, free of charge. The recall began on October 21, 2015.
