Hyundai Motor America announced recently that it has resolved a situation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding the 2013 recall of certain Genesis sedans with brake fluid issues.

NHTSA inquired about the recall, which affected approximately 43,500 Genesis sedans in the 2009-2012 model range, regarding the timeliness of reporting the issue. The company will pay $17.35 million in civil penalties as part of settling the agreement.

David Zuchowski, the president and chief executive officer of Hyundai America, says the company has gone to work to prevent this from happening again.

“In order to mitigate a situation like this in the future, Hyundai is instituting new organizational and process improvements,” Zuchowski said, “and enhancing the ability of the U.S. leadership team to readily respond to regulatory reporting requirements.”

Hyundai had issued a Technical Service Bulletin to its dealers to replace brake fluid in the affected vehicles but did not file a safety recall until after the NHTSA had already opened an investigation. The company says there have been no reported fatalities or serious injuries due to the issue and that the majority of the affected Genesis vehicles have been repaired.

“Hyundai remains committed to making safety our top priority,” Zuchowski said, “and is dedicated to ensuring immediate action in response to potential safety concerns including the prompt reporting of safety defects.”
