Why it matters

A vehicle that brakes suddenly when there's no risk of a collision could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the front camera software.

20 November 2024

Transport Canada lists: Santa Cruz 2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the wiring for the center console extension may not have been routed properly. As a result, the wiring could contact the release for the shift lever lock. If this happens, the transmission could be shifted out of the Park (P) position without pressing the brake pedal.

Why it matters

A vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Hyundai recommends that you should always use the parking brake when you park. Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reroute the center console extension wiring.
