What the authority reported

Issue: On certain Elantra hybrid models, the vehicle could slowly accelerate after the brake pedal is released. Note: This problem can only happen under certain conditions after the vehicle enters "fail-safe" mode.

Safety Risk: A vehicle that accelerates on its own could create the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the motor control unit (MCU) software.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
