Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Hyundai Accent vehicles manufactured March 1, 2009, to February 11, 2011.

What can happen
Failure to illuminate the brake lights during braking or the inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash.
