Hi All:
Yesterday Hyundai announced that it resolved an inquiry by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding the timeliness of the automaker’s 2013 recall of approximately 43,500 model year 2009-12 Hyundai Genesis sedans. As part of the agreement, Hyundai will pay a $17.35 million civil penalty.
To date, the majority of affected Genesis vehicles have been repaired through the recall process. At issue was potential brake system component corrosion from incompatible brake fluid, which could reduce braking performance. Hyundai issued a Technical Service Bulletin to its dealers to replace the brake fluid in affected vehicles, and ultimately conducted a safety recall following NHTSA’s opening of an investigation into the matter. Importantly, there have been no fatalities or serious injuries relating to this safety defect.
