About the Hyundai Tucson Recall
According to CNET, 427,000 2016-2018 Hyundai Tucson SUV models were recently added to an ongoing recall which began with 180,000 vehicles in September of 2020.
Initially, only 2019-2021 models were affected by this issue; however, the recall was expanded this month following new findings on older vehicles.
CNET notes that Hyundai had to file more recall notices on affected vehicles with the NHTSA for safety hazards concerning the ABS brakes and hydraulic electronic control units. An electrical short can result from the defect possibly resulting in vehicle fires.
