APRIL 2009 --
Hyundai is
recalling 531,894 MY
2006-2007 Accent, Entourage,
Sonata, MY 2007 Azera,
Elantra and Santa FE, MY
2005-2007 Tucson and MY
2007-2008 Veracruz vehicles.
The stop lamp switch in the
affected vehicles may
malfunction. A
malfunctioning stop lamp
switch may cause the brake
lights to not illuminate
when the brake pedal is
depressed or may cause the
brake lights to remain
illuminated when the brake
pedal is released. A stop
lamp switch malfunction may
also affect the operation of
the brake-transmission shift
interlock feature so the
transmission shifter would
not be able to be shifted
out of the park position. It
may also cause the
electronic stability control
(ESC) malfunction light to
illuminate, and it may not
deactivate the cruise
control when the brake pedal
is depressed. Any of these
malfunctions, alone or in
combination, may lead to a
crash. Dealers will replace
the stop lamp switch free of
charge. The recall began on
April 23, 2009. Owners may
contact the Hyundai Customer
Assistance Center at
1-800-633-5151. This recall
was the result of a
Preliminary Evaluation
conducted by the Office of
Defects Investigation.
