Battery Cable problems of the 2012 Hyundai Accent

Jul 02,2020 manufacturer recall number193 NHTSA recall number20v393000 recall statusrecall incomplete summary Hyundai motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2012 Hyundai elantra and sonata hybrid, 2012 Accent and veloster vehicles. The 12v accessory socket outlet may have been over-tightened during installation, possibly disabling the thermal fuse and allowing the outlet to overheat with prolonged use, such as by using the tire mobility kit air compressor to inflate a tire. Yesterday, 2020-10-19, since I never owned the original air pump, the dealer (vision Hyundai - henrietta new york) refused to repair my vehicle. But both he and you (NHTSA) seem to be making a seriously egregious error in logic. Any third party device which plugs into the 12v accessory port could cause the same risk of fire because it is the *port* which is defective, not the air pump. That's what the recall notice says, I quote from above: > the 12v accessory socket outlet may have been over-tightened during > installation, possibly disabling the thermal fuse and allowing the > outlet to overheat with prolonged use, Hyundai's proposed work-around of using a direct to battery harness connection is ridiculous on two counts. 1. It doesn't solve the root-cause problem. 2. It requires customers to manually connect wires to the battery, something that we know can be dangerous. I quote: per your own research data: from October 1993-September 1994, there were 581 injuries from checking the battery cables, and 444 injuries from jump starting the battery. For a total of 1025 injuries in one year alone! (data from table 1) (retrieved 2020-10-20 from https://crashstats. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/api/public/viewpublication/97840 ) surely, you (NHTSA) wouldn't endorse a solution which has worse safety hazzards than the original problem. Would you?.
