2016 HYUNDAI SONATA; 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Hyundai is recalling certain 2015-2016 Sonata vehicles manufactured between May 28, 2014, and August 21, 2015, due to a defect in the antilock braking system (ABS) warning light. When an ABS malfunction occurs, the Brake System warning light illuminates but the ABS warning light does not, which means drivers may be unaware that their vehicle's brakes could lock up during hard braking. This increases the risk of a crash since drivers are not properly alerted to the specific problem.
Hyundai will notify owners and dealers will update the ABS control unit software at no cost. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059 to schedule the software update. The recall was expected to begin on November 30, 2015, and Hyundai's reference number for this recall is 134.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Sonata vehicles manufactured May 28, 2014, to August 21, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with an Antilock Braking System (ABS) warning light intended to warn the driver if there is an ABS malfunction. In the event of an ABS malfunction, the Brake System warning light will illuminate, but the ABS warning light will not illuminate. Since the vehicles have ABS malfunction lights that do not illuminate, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
