What is wrong
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Sonata and Genesis vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the warning light to indicate that the parking brake is applied may intermittently not illuminate in the dash due to corrosion in the switch.
What can happen
If the parking brake indicator is not illuminated when the parking brake is applied, the driver may operate the vehicle with the parking brake partially engaged, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the parking brake switch, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 164.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

|---|---|
| 5NP-G7F6N-09 | 2016-10-13. Service bulletin. 2016MY SONATA VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTIONAL ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) INCORPORATE A FEATURE TO MEASURE THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR ASSEMBLIES. IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED AT LEAST ONCE WITHIN A 1,000 KM PERIOD, SELF-CHECK SOFTWARE WILL ACTIVATE THE REAR BRAKE PADS (APPLY/RELEASE) AFTER THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK AND THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. DUE TO THE SYSTEM’S LOGIC, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE REAR BRAKE PADS TO REMAIN IN CONTACT WITH THE ROTORS AFTER THIS VERIFICATION PROCESS, AND THE REAR BRAKES MAY “DRAG” DURING THE NEXT DRIVE CYCLE REQUIRING THE CUSTOMER TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS BULLETIN DESCRIBES THE SERVICE PROCEDURE TO UPDATE THE EPB CONTROL LOGIC (CONTROLLED BY THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MODULE) TO ENSURE THE EPB IS LEFT IN THE CORRECT STATE FOLLOWING THE CLEARANCE VERIFICATION PROCESS. |
