My 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe has been recalled due to the anti-lock system (abs) modules that could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrica short over time. The piston seals in the abs modules's hydraulic valve could leak brake fluid into the electronic control unit (euc) . An electrical short in the abs module could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire. The safety recall letter I received 12-24-20 stated to call the nearest Hyundai dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to have this repaired. I called on Jan 12, 2021 to my dealership and was told the parts to fix the recall were not in yet and they could not tell me when they would be available. I find this to be very concerning that I may have a car that anytime could catch on fire and Hyundai cannot fix it.

In late September we received a recall notification ("campaigne194") from the manufacturer stating that a break fluid leak in the anti-lock brake system could cause an electrical short with potential fire in the engine compartment. My wife immediately went to the dealer, fitzgerald Hyundai rockville MD, to get it fixed. They said the fix was not ready and that we would be contacted. When told them that we planned to drive to south florida (from just north of washington DC), they brushed off her concern with a careless attitude. We are nervous about driving the vehicle at all and see on your website that the manufacturer is obliged "to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner". We have received no follow-up from them and feel that given this began in August, a "timely manner" has not been met. Is our vehicle safe to drive?! we thank you in advance for your quick response.
It's the abs brake system that is leaking fluid and could possibly leak on an electrical box causing a fire.
