## 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.
