The safety of drivers and passengers is our top priority. The 2018 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid has two NHTSA-listed recalls affecting the Hybrid Propulsion System where a Voltage Protection Device (VPD) can activate inadvertently and cause a loss of power while the vehicle is operating in EV mode. A sudden loss of power increases the risk of a crash and can create hazardous driving conditions on highways and city streets. Hyundai's corrective action replaces the VPD arrangement with an updated Battery Management System (BMS) that includes an Overvoltage Protection Device (OPD) to prevent unintended shutdowns. At Arapahoe Hyundai in Centennial, CO, our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to verify the issue and install the proper BMS under the manufacturer recall at no cost. Ignoring this repair could affect insurance claims, roadside safety, and peace of mind; please schedule service promptly so we can complete the recall repair and keep you safe on the road.
