1726 Hyundai 2023 Kona (SX2) cars have been recalled due to an issue with the vehicle’s wiring could cause the vehicle to set alight in the event of a crash.
Due to a manufacturing defect, the bracket retaining the engine control unit could interfere with the vehicle’s wiring in the event of a collision, causing a short circuit resulting in a vehicle fire.
A vehicle fire can increase the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Hyundai dealer to schedule an appointment to have a protective cover installed over the affected wiring, free of charge.
