Recall 04V-131: 2003–2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Mar 16, 2004, covering about 17,401 vehicles.
The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.5 liter V-6 engines, 4-wheel drive and antilock braking systems (Abs), if the brake pedal is depressed at speeds between 3 and 12 MPH when the brake pad friction surfaces are wet, a vibration may occur between the brake discs and pads causing ABS sensor electronic signal noise to develop. At speeds below 5 MPH, the ABS sensor signal noise may cause the ABS electronic control unit (Ecu) to activate the ABS, extending the stopping distance.
The risk
If an extended stopping distance occurs, it could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will reprogram the ABS ECU. Owner notification began on march 24, 2004. Owners should contact hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
Notes
Hyundai recall no. 065. Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
