Narrative

The contact's god-daughter owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that the ABS warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the recall repair of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000(Service Brakes, Hydraulic) was performed; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while inspecting the vehicle at the residence, the contact noticed that the ABS fuse was blown. The contact replaced the ABS fuse; however, the ABS motor made an abnormal whining and humming sound. The ABS motor then blew up and caught on fire. The contact stated that he was able to extinguish the 12 inch high flames with a bottle of water. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was determined that the ABS unit and the wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the recall remedy failed to fix the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened; however, the manufacturer later sent a letter to the contact advising that the claim was denied. The failure mileage was approximately 87,700.
