WASHINGTON — Hyundai Motor is recalling 54,337 vehicles in the U.S. over a fire risk linked to the overheating of the hybrid power control unit, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.
The recall covers certain 2024-2026 Elantra Hybrid vehicles.
Overheating in the hybrid power control unit under high electrical loads can cause affected vehicles to fail to start or enter reduced‑power mode, the auto regulator said.
In some cases, the overheating could lead to localized thermal damage to the assembly and internal components, the agency added.
Dealers will update the affected software free of charge, the administration said.
