The Korean automaker announced Wednesday it will recall 54,337 vehicles across the United States due to fire hazards caused by overheating hybrid components, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>

The safety recall affects specific 2024-2026 Elantra Hybrid models experiencing problems with their hybrid power control systems.<\/p>

Federal safety officials explained that excessive heat buildup in the hybrid power control unit during high electrical demand situations can prevent vehicles from starting properly or force them into a limited-power operating mode.<\/p>

The agency warned that in certain situations, the excessive heat could result in localized heat damage to the system and its internal parts.<\/p>

Vehicle owners won’t face any costs for the repair, as authorized service centers will install updated software at no charge to customers, according to the federal safety administration.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
