Details

What's wrong: Due to an electronic stability control (esc) sensor malfunction, the brakes for one or more wheels may be applied unexpectedly and the engine power may be reduced. These symptoms will be accompanied by illumination of the esc indicator lamp in the instrument cluster.

Why it matters: If the one or more of the brakes are inappropriately applied, control of the vehicle may be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will verify the proper operation of the esc sensors, and update the esc system's calibration, free of charge. The recall began June 6, 2016.
