- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Nexo Fuel Cell and 2019-2021 Kona Electric vehicles. The Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) system may detect an abnormal sensor signal and as a result, may significantly reduce braking performance.
- What it can cause
- Reduced braking power could lengthen the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will update the IEB software, free of charge. The recall began January 25, 2021. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 199.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 8,176 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 13 times before this, most recently in September 2020 as 20V543000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 114 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V761000 (fuel system, other), 22V941000 (electrical system), 22V258000 (fuel system, other), 22V228000 (fuel system, other).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Hyundai Motor America with NHTSA on December 1, 2020 as campaign 20V748000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
