What is being recalled
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2024 Hyundai Sonata vehicles. The software for the brake lights may cause the brake lights to flash and not illuminate properly.

Why it is dangerous
Flashing brake lights may cause confusion for other drivers on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
