Hyundai announce another recall of the Tucson SUV for an engine fire risk

Over 400,000 Hyundai Tucson SUVs are being added to those recalled in September 2020. The SUVs are being recalled in the U.S. for an electrical short in a computer that could cause fires.

The company is warning owners to park the SUVs outdoors until they are repaired.

The South Korean automaker recalled approximately 180,000 Tucson SUVs in the U.S. from 2019 through 2021 due to the electrical short.

The latest recall covers certain model-year 2016 through 2018, and 2020 through 2021, Hyundai Tucson SUVs. The vehicles have antilock brake system computers that can malfunction internally and cause an electrical short. That can lead to a fire.

Tucsons equipped with Hyundai’s Smart Cruise Control feature are not being recalled.
