Hyundai Recalls Nearly 45,000 Santa Fe Sport SUVs over Fire Risk
• A problem with the ABS module could cause a fire when the vehicle is stationary.Updated on November 2, 2022.
Specifically, a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system module could cause an electrical short and possibly then an engine fire when the vehicle is stationary. The problem can eventually develop over time, which is why we’re seeing a recall campaign now, four to five years after the model's market debut.
