What owners wrote
Tl* the contact stated that while driving the vehicle started to smoke from the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the engine was burning oil and needed to be changed. The oil was changed in hopes it would repair the failure. The vehicle was then towed to herb connolly hyundai, 520 worcester rd, framingham, ma 01702, and was diagnosed that the engine oil level was perfect on arrival and was not replicating the failure of the smoke. The failure recurred.
My 2015 hyundai santa fe has been recalled due to the anti-lock system (ABS) modules that could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrica short over time. The piston seals in the ABS modules's hydraulic valve could leak brake fluid into the electronic control unit (euc) . An electrical short in the ABS module could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire.
