Recall Summary:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3. 5 liter v-6 engines, 4-wheel drive and antilock braking systems (abs), if the brake pedal is depressed at speeds between 3 and 12 mph when the brake pad friction surfaces are wet, a vibration may occur between the brake discs and pads causing abs sensor electronic signal noise to develop. At speeds below 5 mph, the abs sensor signal noise may cause the abs electronic control unit (ecu) to activate the abs, extending the stopping distance.
How to Fix:
Dealers will reprogram the abs ecu. Owner notification began on March 24, 2004. Owners should contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
