Chafed insulation could cause a short of the wiring harness resulting in the loss of brake lights, engine stalling, or an inability to start the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the wiring harness for chafing and repair it if necessary. Also, the dealer will secure the wiring harness to prevent future contact with the u-joint assembly.The recall began on October 9, 2006. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
