Hyundai Recalls Thousands of SUVs Over Brake Issue - What Boca Drivers Need to Know

Hyundai has issued a recall affecting over 12,000 of its popular Palisade SUVs from the 2023 model year. The problem? A potential brake fluid leak that could reduce stopping power, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners in South Florida and beyond should check if their vehicle is included.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue stems from a rear brake caliper assembly that may have been improperly manufactured. This can cause fluid to leak, triggering a warning light or, in worst-case scenarios, a noticeable drop in brake performance.

Hyundai says it will notify affected owners starting in February and will replace the faulty calipers free of charge at authorized dealerships.
