The short version

Hyundai Motor Company reported a problem with the brake lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units.

WHY IT MATTERS

Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake.

WHAT TO DO

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge.

Affected vehicles

These model years are included in NHTSA campaign 13V-113.
