2007 Hyundai Azera brakes problems

Filed Sep 28, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · UT

My 2007 Hyundai Azera is subject to the federal safety agency Recall 18V026 (Hyundai Safety Recall Campaign 172) for water intrusion into the ABS control module causing electrical short circuits and fire risk. The recall remedy — installation of a relay to cut power to the ABS module when the ignition is off — was completed on my vehicle. Despite the completed remedy, the ABS module shorted and failed. At the diagnosing dealer (Hyundai of Ogden, Ogden, UT), technicians found a blown 20A ABS fuse and no communication with the module; when a replacement fuse was installed, the ABS module immediately began smoking. The technician documented water intrusion into the module as the cause — the same failure mode the recall addressed — and noted no outside cause. This occurred with the vehicle powered, a condition the relay remedy does not mitigate. Hyundai Motor America initially approved a 100% goodwill replacement of the module (dealer estimate $5,531.29) but later declined because the part is discontinued and cannot be sourced. The vehicle currently has no functioning ABS. I am filing because the recall remedy did not prevent the recalled defect from recurring: the water intrusion and short-circuit failure occurred on a vehicle that received the remedy. The relay only addresses key-off fire risk; it does not prevent module failure or the associated risk while the vehicle is powered. No injuries occurred.

I had the recall 172 performed at the hyundai dealership on 07/03/2020, and 2 weeks later my ABS module failed anyway due to brake fluid leak inside the ABS module and had to be replaced. I contacted hyundai for reimbursement and was denied. Out of pocket $500. Was also told repair would be $4000, but was then changed to $300.

Brakes were loose took to shop told it was master cylinder, went through three master cylinders then the ABS, brake warning lights came on the dash panel, lost cruise control. Took to dealer and they said not covered by any recall. It is a question whether the brakes will stop the car in time since we need to go almost to the floor to stop. Dealer said $4,000+ to get it fixed, and it is okay to drive as it is. Who is responsible if a life is lost or property damage occurs? Shouldn't a part as significant as the ABS module be warranted or relaced?

Brake pedal was harder to push down on. The service engine light indicator lit. Took it to the nearest hyundai repair center but they refused to look into it as I did not have "an appointment" and was asked to make an appointment and come back. Took it to a nearby repair station (pepboys) who read the error as a faulty brake a/b switch but could not rectify it as they did not have parts. Took it to another repair center. They replaced the switch and advised on the recall. Called hyundai customer service but they refused to reimburse on the claim as the exact VIN number was not part of the recall even though they acknowledged that the 2007 azera had this problem.
