Hyundai Genesis sedan recall swells to 43 500
Hyundai is expanding a recall we reported on a few weeks back regarding some 2009 to 2012 Genesis Sedans. In our earlier post we mentioned some 40,000 units were affected, but that only 27,500 were covered under the original, voluntary recall.
Now, the recall has grown, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with Hyundai asking the owners of 43,500 affected vehicles to report in for service. The issue relates to brake fluid that doesnt prevent corrosion of the hydraulic electronic control unit, a problem that has led to 23 complains, a documented crash for one owner and another owner losing control of their vehicle.
Owners of the affected sedans are being notified by Hyundai and asked to report to dealers to have the brake fluid replaced. Naturally, the work will be done free of charge. Take a look below for the official NHTSA bulletin.
SUMMARY:
Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Genesis vehicles manufactured April 30, 2008, through March 28, 2012. The vehicles may contain brake fluid which does not protect against corrosion of the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU).
CONSEQUENCE:
If the module corrodes, reduced brake effectiveness may result, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Hyundai will notify owners and instruct them to bring their vehicle to a dealer for service. Hyundai will inspect the HECU module for proper operation, and will replace the modules as necessary. Hyundai will replace the factory brake fluid in those vehicles that have not previously had the factory brake fluid replaced. These repairs will be done free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by the end of December 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151 or by email at consumeraffairs@hmausa.com. Hyundais recall number is 114.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

PDF Hyundai Tiburon GS Manual COMPLETE REPORT
base 138-hp, 2.0-liter four. The gutsier V-6 finally gave the coupe enough authority to compete with pocket rockets such as the Acura RSX and VW GTI. The Gen 3 Tiburon also got a strut front, multilink rear suspension that gave it handling to match its power. The Tiburons look is sporty, a bit of a blend of Ford Mustang and Ferrari 456GT. For 05, the Tiburon receives a minor exterior face lift and interior freshening. Bigger news is the addition of a Special Edition (SE) model to the lineup. The limited-production SE keeps the 2.7-liter but adds a six-speed, ABS, red front-brake calipers, and other boy-racer accessories.Welcome to our Decision Guide Complete Report.
