ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2012-2014 Veloster vehicles. High conductive liquid may leak into the Reverse Park Aid Sensor (RPAS), which can result in an electrical short circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the RPAS fuse and sensor, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 28, 2023. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 242.
- 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.nhtsa.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 25,715 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2012 to 2014, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 16 times before this, most recently in December 2022 as 22V941000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 801 complaints with NHTSA, 633 of them before this campaign was filed. 157 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2011, 11 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V651000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 20V393000 (equipment).
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 February 28, 2023 as campaign 23V132000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
