NHTSA recall 18V704000
Hybrid Propulsion System · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: The main relay within the power relay assembly (pra) may have inadequate connections between its contacts, causing increased electrical resistance.
Why it matters: The increased electrical resistance can overheat the rear seat which is above the pra, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power relay assembly (pra) for damage. If no damage is found, the main relay will be replaced. If damage is found, the pra will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began February 28, 2019.
