Hyundai Recalls 496,000 Sonatas For Misdirected Turn Signals

Hyundai recalls 2015-2017 Hyundai Sonata, 2016-2017 Sonata Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrids.

Hazard: Turn signals may activate in the opposite direction the drivers intended.

Hyundai says the problem is caused by the smart junction box software logic which may not properly interpret the signals received from the multifunction switch. A driver will see the unintended turn signal direction on the instrument panel of the Sonata.

Remedy: Dealerships will update junction box software.

Hyundai Sonata recall notices will be mailed November 19, 2021, and dealerships will update the smart junction box software.

Hyundai Sonata recall number 210.
