Reduced braking performance can cause longer brake pedal travel or extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai is recalling certain 2021 Accent vehicles due to brake master cylinder defects that can reduce braking performance. This may cause longer brake pedal travel and increase the risk of a crash if the vehicle stops suddenly.
The brake master cylinder may have sharp edges that damage the inner oil seal. This leads to reduced braking performance, causing longer brake pedal travel and increasing the distance needed to stop the vehicle. If the vehicle stops suddenly, this could result in a crash.
Owners of 2021 Hyundai Accent vehicles purchased between specific dates are affected. Drivers and passengers in these vehicles face the highest risk due to potential brake failure during sudden stops.
