This recall affects around 54,337 cars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Per the U.S. Department of Transportation safety recall report, the Hybrid Power Control Unit (\u201cHPCU\u201d), which controls electrical power delivery to specific components of the hybrid system, contains a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (\u201cMOSFET\u201d) that can overheat under high electrical loads. In most cases, customers may experience a \u201cno start\u201d condition or the vehicle may enter a reduced power \u201climp\u201d mode with the MIL illuminated while driving. In limited cases, the HPCU could overheat, resulting in localized thermal damage to the HPCU assembly and internal components.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Affected units may not start or will have the malfunction indicator lamp on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">At this time, Hyundai is aware of four incidents which include one fire. No crashes or injuries related to the recall have been reported. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Dealers will update the HPCU software for free. Owner notification letters will be mailed July 13, 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u25b6 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wokv.com\/on-demand\/morning-news-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wokv.com\/on-demand\/morning-news-podcast\/\">Listen to Jacksonville\u2019s Morning News Interviews<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__interstitial-link\">[\u00a0<a aria-label=\"Open related story\" class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wokv.com\/news\/local\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more local news from WOKV<\/a>\u00a0]<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wokv.com\/fp\/download-free-wokv-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wokv.com\/fp\/download-free-wokv-app\/\">Click here<\/a> to download our free news, weather and traffic app. And <a href=\"https:\/\/membercenter.wokv.com\/newsletters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/membercenter.wokv.com\/newsletters\">click here<\/a> to subscribe to our daily 3 Big Things newsletter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hyundai is recalling 2024-2026 Elantra Hybrids after finding the hybrid power control unit assembly may overheat and increase&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[16995,16996,16997,16989,16986,1642,295,16994,16993,294,785,293,16990,16992,16985,16987,16988,16991],"class_list":["post-25304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hyundai","tag-2024-hyundai-elantra-hybrid","tag-2025-hyundai-elantra-hybrid","tag-2026-hyundai-elantra-hybrid","tag-16989","tag-duval","tag-florida","tag-hyundai","tag-hyundai-elantra-hybrid-light","tag-hyundai-elantra-light","tag-hyundai-group","tag-hyundai-hybrid","tag-hyundai-motor-group","tag-hyundai-recall","tag-hyunday-hybrid-recall","tag-jacksonville","tag-ne-florida","tag-northeast-florida","tag-recall-alert"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
