Approximately 151,200 model-year 2013-15 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUVs are being recalled because brake fluid may leak inside the antilock brake system module, potentially resulting in an electrical short and increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire.

Hyundai will begin notifying owners on Oct. 23. Owners can call the automaker at 855-371-9460 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.

To fix the problem, dealers will inspect the antilock brake system module and replace it, as necessary.

Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
