The Washington Post reports:
Hyundai
is recalling more than 44,000 SUVs due to fire risk, even when idle,
and has advised owners to park them away from buildings and other cars.The
recall announced Tuesday applies to the 2018 Santa Fe Sport, which may
contain components in the anti-lock braking system that generate
electrical currents too great for its fuses. That could cause an
electrical short, Hyundai told federal regulators, increasing the risk
of “fire while parked or driving.”
Owners
should contact Hyundai’s customer service line at 855-371-9460 to
coordinate repairs and reference recall number 237. The company will
install a replacement fuse to mitigate the fire risk at no charge. It
also is offering reimbursement associated with out-of-pocket expenses to
arrange for repairs.
In 2016, Hyundai started manufacturing The Santa Fe Sport in Montgomery.
