Narrative

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, all warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel, at which point the contact observed smoke emanating from the engine compartment, prompting him to pull to the shoulder of the roadway. After a visual inspection of the engine compartment, he observed a small fire on some electrical wiring. The contact was able to extinguish the fire on his own. Neither a fire nor a police report were filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that ABS fluid was leaking onto the electrical wiring, resulting in a fire. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics); the VIN was included but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
