Hyundai is recalling thousands of cars to fix a software glitch affecting the ‘fail-safe’ driving mode, a fault which has the potential to cause a crash.

The i30N Santa Fe (TM), Kona N (OS), i30N Sedan (CN7) and Sonata N-Line vehicles sold between 2020 and 2022 are being recalled, Hyundai Australia said.

The recall affects a total of 7237 vehicles.

“Due to a programming issue, the “fail-safe” driving mode may not respond as intended when certain transmission faults are detected,” the Department of Transport said.

“Under certain driving conditions the vehicle fail-safe mode may activate resulting in reduced acceleration followed by a loss of motive power.”

Such a power failure at high speed could increase the risk of a crash, the department said.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact their preferred Hyundai dealer to have the work carried out as soon as possible at no cost.

For further information, contact Hyundai Australia on 1800 186 306.
