2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, brake fluid could leak into the control module for the antilock brake system (ABS) and cause it to short circuit. 
Note: This recall replaces recall R0246 (Transport Canada recall number 2023-527). For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid model is affected by this recall. 

Safety Risk: 
A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. 

Corrective Actions: 
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuse for the ABS module. Hyundai recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

Issue: 
Hyundai is conducting a special service campaign to upgrade the safety plug fuse. On certain Sonata Hybrid (HEV) models, the safety plug fuse in the power relay assembly could blow and cause a sudden loss of hybrid system power. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of hybrid system power may increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions:  
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the 125-A safety plug with one that has a 150-A rating.

If you experience unusual engine noise, reduced power, or a check engine/oil warning light, Hyundai advises you to immediately visit a Hyundai dealership to have your vehicle diagnosed.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, an intermittent problem could cause the turn signals to activate in the opposite direction from what a driver intends. For example, when the driver uses the right turn signal, the left signal could turn on. 
Note: For 2016 and 2017 models, the Sonata Hybrid and Sonata Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are also affected by this recall.  

Safety Risk:
