2018 Hyundai Kona 1.6T: poor brake performance or brake failure
In January 2019, recall campaign 81C103 was issued for Hyundai Kona vehicles that had 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engines. During assembly, the front brake tube may not have been fitted correctly such that the tube could contact the exhaust system. Prolonged contact could cause the brake line to be squashed or ruptured – this would reduce brake performance or cause brake failure, thereby increasing the risk of a collision. For the VINs of the recalled Hyundai Kona vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17252.
