Hyundai Recalls 41K SUVs For Acceleration Issue

Thursday, September 15th, 2016 Subrogation

Hyundai is recalling about 41,000 small SUVs in the U.S. because a software glitch can stop the vehicles from accelerating.
The recall came after pressure from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It covers 2016 Tucson models with seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissions. Hyundai says it started getting reports in June that the engines would rev but the SUVs wouldn’t move. Engineers traced the problem to the transmission control computer that monitors driving to refine gear shifting. If the gas pedal is repeatedly cycled, the Tucsons may not accelerate.
