5 common questions answered
NHTSA identifies three recalls for the 2012 Hyundai Veracruz. An ABS module may leak brake fluid internally, create an electrical short, and cause an engine-compartment fire while parked or driving. Separate engine-related campaigns address oil leaking from the front cylinder bank valve cover gasket onto the alternator. That damage can disable the charging system, illuminate the warning lamp, cause power loss, or lead to an engine stall. These conditions can increase the risk of injury or a crash. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so follow Hyundai’s direction to park outside and away from structures when the brake-related campaign applies, then arrange a prompt inspection.
