What's wrong?
The ABS module on 2014-2019 Hyundai Tucson, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, and Santa Fe Xl vehicles is the electronic control unit for the anti-lock brake system. It helps manage brake pressure during hard stops so the wheels do not lock up and the driver keeps steering control.
On affected vehicles, the ABS module can malfunction and create an electrical short inside the engine compartment. Hyundai is investigating the root cause, but the recalled condition is clear: excess electrical current in the module raises the risk of an engine compartment fire. The remedy uses an ABS multi-fuse with a lower amperage rating to limit the current feeding the module.
What you might notice is smoke from the engine compartment, a burning or melting odor, or an illuminated malfunction indicator light or ABS light. Treat those signs as related to the recall and contact a Hyundai dealer.
