What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3.3 liter engines and electronic stability control (ESC), the ESC may have been programmed to be oversensitive to the onset of oversteering while driving on banked curves, causing inadvertent application of the front outside brake when ESC activation may not be needed.
The risk
This may cause the vehicle to slow and may affect the path that the vehicle is traveling. Brake application caused by inadvertent ESC activation may result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will reprogram the ESC hydraulic electronic control unit. The recall began on july 29, 2005. Owners may contact hyundai at 1-[removed].
