What is wrong

Hyundai Auto Canada is conducting an extended warranty campaign for certain vehicles as water could enter the horn assembly and cause the horn's electrical contacts to corrode. As a result, the horn may not work properly or at all.

Why it matters

A horn that doesn't work properly could prevent a driver from warning others of a danger and create an unsafe situation.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Hyundai advises you to test the horn regularly. Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to contact a dealership if your horn doesn't work properly. Hyundai will provide an extended warranty of 10 years/200 000 km to replace the horn for free if it fails.

Transport Canada lists: Kona Ev 2021

What is wrong

On certain electric vehicles, the electric power control unit (EPCU) may not be sealed correctly. As a result, coolant could leak inside the EPCU and onto the circuit board. If this happens, the vehicle could suddenly lose power to the wheels.

Why it matters

A sudden loss of power to the wheels may increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the EPCU.

Transport Canada lists: Kona Ev 2019–2021 · Nexo 2019–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an abnormal sensor signal to the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) system could cause a sudden reduction in braking performance. If this happens, a brake warning light will turn on in the instrument cluster.

Why it matters

Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the IEB system software.
