I have been receiving important safety recall notices from Hyundai Motor America since February stating they are preparing a remedy. The ABS modules could malfunction and result in an engine fire while I am driving the vehicle or it is parked. This is very concerning. Each time I have my car serviced I ask Hyundai service dept. to address the recall and I am told the part is not available.

What owners say
2015 hyundai tucson. Consumer writes in regard to ABS module safety recall. The consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time completing the recall repair.
To Whom it my Concern: I have a RECALL ON MY ABS BRAKES I have Made 2 Appts. With the Dealership to get this fixed..They tell me you have to wait until Hyundai contacts you... I have been waiting for ever ..They send me papers all the time IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL WE ARE CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE??????? IM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
They have been sending me notices for months now saying that my car could catch fire...even when parked but cannot come up with a resolution. I have to keep my car outside and take a risk every time I have to drive it. They should be pulling us in and changing the ABS. Do we have to wait until we and/or our property is damaged? This is ridiculous and needs to be remedied now. They could at least give us loaners that while we wait.
I own a 2015 Hyundai Tucson and was notified by letter of the Safety Recall, Campaign 218 for the defect on the ABS system and campaign 966 for a software update. It took over a month to get an appointment at the Hundai dealer, Fucillo Hyundai in Schenectady, NY. They completed the software change, but I was told that a remedy was not available for the more dangerous and threatening ABS problem. At present, they do not have a fix and don't know when it will be available - possibly up to two more months. I have parked this car in a garage that is located directly under my living room since I bought the car in 2015. Apparently my house could have been combusted anytime this last 7 years. After learning of the magnitude of the risk I don't want to drive this car or even have it on my property. Instead of sending me this mealy mouth letter and talking with a mealy mouth Hyundai agent who has no information (other than to wish me a nice day) I want Hyundai to provide me with a rental car that is safe to drive and park at my house. I'm a 78 year old woman living on a remote dirt road in Vermont who (these days) only drives back and forth to the grocery which is 10 miles round trip. I drove almost 100 miles yesterday to take the car to the dealer in Schenectady for the service. I will have to drive over there again when they are ready to fix this problem. This is not good enough!!!!! Well, let's get serious: exactly how far from said structure should the car be parked? 25 ft, 50 ft 100 ft?? Is there a recommended time or distance limit the car may be driven in a day/trip or other unit of measure? Is there a recommended speed? My car has 60,000 miles on it. Is that a factor? Is the outside ambient temperature a factor? How far away should I stay from other cars? Do they know or recommend?
