Hyundai is recalling 2024-2026 Elantra Hybrids after finding the hybrid power control unit assembly may overheat and increase the risk of a fire. This recall affects around 54,337 cars.<\/p>\n
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
Affected units may not start or will have the malfunction indicator lamp on.<\/p>\n
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
Dealers will update the HPCU software for free. Owner notification letters will be mailed July 13, 2026.<\/p>\n
