In the auto industry, Hyundai recalled 300 of its 2022 Santa Fe Hybrid and PHEV vehicles last week, after discovering their digital instrument clusters could fail if the car is started in extremely cold weather, Guide Auto reports.
The issue is due to a manufacturing error related to the wrong resistors being installed in the vehicles’ dashboard.
Hyundai says it plans to notify vehicle owners of the issue and will request they bring their cars into a dealership so they can be fixed at no cost, Guide Auto reports.
Hyundai issued a separate recall this month for certain of its 2021 Santa Fe and Sonata vehicles containing windshields that may be poorly secured.
Also last week, Ford issued a recall for almost 200,000 vehicles in the United States after discovering their brake lights may stay on even after the brake pedal is released, Driving reports.

Ford says the affected vehicles were sold or registered in around 10 different U.S. states where climate conditions may have caused the vehicles’ brake pedal bumper to separate from the brake pedal.
