Vehicles Affected: Approximately 155,000 model-year 2011-12 Hyundai Elantra cars manufactured between Oct. 29, 2010, and Oct. 25, 2011
The Problem: An electronic stability control sensor malfunction could cause the brakes for one or more wheels to be applied unexpectedly and engine power to be reduced, which could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. The symptoms will be accompanied by illumination of the ESC indicator lamp in the instrument cluster.
The Fix: Dealers will verify the proper operation of the ESC sensors and update the ESC system’s calibration for free.
What Owners Should Do: Hyundai will begin notifying owners on Feb. 19. Owners can call the automaker at 800-633-5151, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
