Hyundai is recalling 37,997 Elantras hybrids over concerns that they might experience unintended acceleration. The issue affects three different model years from 2021 through 2023 and traces its roots back to a software issue. Despite a plethora of testing, Hyundai couldn’t replicate the issue itself but is issuing the recall regardless.
Hyundai says that it first heard reports of unintended acceleration in the affected Elantra population back in August of 2022.
