Defect description

Reduced braking performance can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder, and flush the brake fluid, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 24, 2021. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 212.
