A major car manufacturer has announced the recall of 99,256 vehicles in Russia as they could burst into flames. It is possible that a short circuiting in the ABS block module may lead to a fire outbreak in the engine compartment of Hyundai models, the Russian Federal Agency on Technical Regulation and Metrology, Rosstandart, said on Friday.
The warning includes Grandeur, Genesis Coupe, Grand Santa Fe, Veloster, i40, Solaris, and SantaFe models sold from 2010 to 2015, according to the Russian news service TASS.
“The recall extends to 99,256 Hyundai Grandeur, Genesis Coupe, Grand Santa Fe, Veloster, i40, Solaris, and SantaFe automobiles sold in the period from 2010 to 2015 with VINs according to the appendix,” officials said.
“The reason for recalling motor vehicles: short circuiting may rarely occur in the HECU module (ABS unit), which may increase the risk of fire outbreak in the engine compartment.”
