The hydraulic control unit (hecu) assembly controls the anti-lock braking system(abs) electronic stability control system (esc) and traction control system (tcs) in your vecicle. Brake fluid may leak intrnally inside the hecu,which,overtime,can result in an eletrical short. An electrical short in the hecu increases the risk of an engine compartment fire. Kia says they inspected the unit indicated"no electrical draw at this time". I would prefer the unit be replaced with a new one.
I rcv'd a letter from kia re the hydraulic elec cntrol unit that it may leak fluid and result in a fire. Ltr dtd oct 15, '20; rcv'd @ mid Nov. Have tried telephonic contact w/local dealer many times and get nowhere- no return calls, no commo whatsoever. Ltr states kia has advised dealers to inspect, but no interest from viva kia, el paso.
