Hyundai Motor Company is recalling more than 54,000 Elantra Hybrid vehicles in the U.S. due to a defect in the hybrid power system that could overheat and spark a fire, federal regulators said.<\/p>\n

The recall covers certain 2024\u20132026 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid models. About 54,337 vehicles are being recalled, though Hyundai estimates only 1% may actually contain the defect, according to notices this past week from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).<\/p>\n

At the center of the recall is the vehicle\u2019s hybrid power control unit (HPCU), which regulates electrical power in the hybrid system. NHTSA said a transistor inside the unit can overheat under heavy electrical loads.<\/p>\n

Drivers could experience a “no start” condition, reduced-power “limp mode,” or warning lights while driving. In rare cases, the overheating could damage internal components and raise the risk of a fire.<\/p>\n

“Overheating of the HPCU could increase the risk of a fire,” NHTSA said.<\/p>\n

Hyundai said it knows of four U.S. incidents tied to the issue, including one reported fire. No injuries or crashes have been reported.<\/p>\n

Hyundai dealers will fix the problem with a free HPCU software update. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed starting July 13.<\/p>\n

“All owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail with instructions to bring their vehicle to a Hyundai dealer, where technicians will update the HPCU software,” NHTSA said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This remedy will be offered at no cost to owners for all affected vehicles.”<\/p>\n
