What's wrong?
The ABS module on the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is the electronic control unit for the anti-lock brake system. It reads wheel-speed information and commands brake pressure changes so the wheels keep turning during hard braking. The module relies on a protected electrical circuit inside the engine compartment.
On affected Santa Fe Sport vehicles, the ABS module can malfunction and create an electrical short. That short creates heat in the engine compartment and raises the risk of a fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven. Hyundai was still investigating the root cause and recovering incident parts, so the filing points to the module and electrical protection rather than a single confirmed internal defect.
Warning signs include smoke from the engine compartment, a burning or melting odor, or illumination of the malfunction indicator light or ABS light. Treat any of those signs as a reason to stop using the vehicle and contact a Hyundai dealer.
