Hyundai to Recall Over 421,000 US Vehicles Over Software Brake Issue: NHTSA
Hyundai Motor is recalling 421,078 vehicles in the U.S. over a software error that may cause an unexpected application of brakes, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on May 22.
The auto safety agency said that a software error in the front cameras of the vehicles may cause the forward collision avoidance system to prematurely activate and cause the application of brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the front camera software at no cost, the regulator added.
Earlier last week, the automaker recalled more than 54,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to a fire risk linked to overheating in the hybrid power control unit.
