Toronto, Ontario — Transport Canada has issued a recall on 295,777 Hyundai vehicles following a warning from the OEM that brake lines under the vehicle could corrode, reducing braking power and increasing the risk of a crash.
Affected models include the 2011 to 2016 Elantra and Equus, 2009 to 2014 Genesis, 2010 to 2016 Genesis Coupe, 2012 to 2017 Veloster, 2013 to 2018 Santa Fe and 2010 to 2011 Tucson.
Owners of the recalled vehicles will be notified in the mail to get their vehicle’s underbody inspected by a dealer, and potentially have an anti-corrosion treatment applied to certain parts and replacing corroded brake lines.

i decided to sell my 2016 Elantra and so went to my local garage at the end of April for regular maintenance and a safety check. When my garagist took the car out of the bay , he noticed a brake failure and it was caused by faulty / corroded break lines. He then had to replace the brake lines in order for the car to pass the safety check. A few weeks later, i sold the car and day after i received a break recall notice. I will try to communicate with Huyndai Canada to see if they can reimburse me even if i do not own the car anymore and did not do the work at a Hyunday dealer. The cost of the repair was over $200.
