Brake Fluid Recall!

[OneFunGenesis]

You sure can take it in for just the TSB. I am

 

[Mark_888]

I'm confused. Is a tsb done for free but only if you have your car in for some other service? I can't just take it in for this?

What they mean is that it is required to be done by the dealer if the car is in the shop for any reason, but they will not notify owners. They are also required to apply the TSB to inventory. You can bring it in just for the TSB.

Thank you

Eh...it's a PITA going to the dealer for service Had my car in the Mavis Tire shop around the corner from my office for a front end alignment and tire rotation. So I just had them change the fluid to DOT 4 while it was in. Mine has 45k miles, they said the fluid was starting to get dirty and should have been changed soon anyway. I'll pay 70 bucks not to have to hassle with dropping it at the dealer

^ Change dealers? When I walk in, I am treated like a king. That might be because (in Rochester NY) they sell 6 Genesii a year and 2 Equuii....

I'm with PHILTH on the braking: best brakes of any car I've owned. I have half a dozen issues with the car (GPS, Audio drop out, wrinkled front seat bottom, et al) but a BIG positive are the brakes! I had the vehicle in to Hyundai this morning for the brake fluid change and all went well. It took about an hour and a half.

P.S. asked about updating my GPS and it is obvious that they would rather not do it. My service writer reports that the cars they updated took two or three takes and consultation with Mapnsoft to get it done correctly. I have the DIS (Tech version) which takes 4 hours IF all goes right the first try. I was also asked to please call Mapnsoft before I return for the update to make sure they (my Hyundai Service Center) have the correct software before I bring it in for updating....THEY WANT ME TO CALL! I tell you these small issues are going to combine and become a large black mark for Hyundai. This car was an experiment/trial for me (honestly never saw myself buying a Hyundai) and if Hyundai wants my return business they need to correct the small things. "Watch the dimes the dollars will take care of themselves!"

Interesting. So they have the software and interface to actuate the ABS module after a fluid swap?

That would be the "fancy" way of doing it. I walked back in as they were finishing up the last corner. They did have a machine hooked up to fully bleed the lines then they took it for a test drive around the block to verify all was well.

How do you think cars were worked on before all these fancy computers I'd wager dealers do the EXACT same thing.

I'd wager the Hyundai dealership does it the fancy way by commanding the abs module to run the pump and open the normally closed valves so that all of the old fluid gets exchanged.

FYI, Mavis Tire Shop could do the same procedure by using the proper aftermarket scanner. The Wynn's brake flush machine does not open the normally closed valves, so old fluid does not get fully flushed out, leaving a mix of 2 different fluid types, generally not recommended.

That's actually totally incorrect. The valves in any ABS module are normally open. The ABS module does not interfere with braking unless the sensors detect differential wheel speed. Only then will the ABS module pulse/close the valves to prevent wheel lock. Thus if you flush/bleed a brake system starting at the reservoir/master-cylinder, it would flush all the fluid out of the ABS module on the way to the individual wheels.

Have you actually read the full TSB procedures? I did and it's not how you describe. Otherwise I'd be doing it myself. I'll be taking mine in to get it done properley.

Not worth the hassle and possible warrenty issues later down the road.

The design utilizes an electric motor which powers a hydraulic pump unit used to recirculate brake fluid during ABS operation. The hydraulic circuit components also include a normally closed ABS release solenoid valve, an integral spring-loaded piston accumulator, an isolation valve and check arrangement, a number of strategically placed flow control orifices and an optional hydraulic damper assembly.

Open the Driver's door and check the build date of your car. According to the TSB 13-01-006, it applies to all Genesis Sedan built between April 30th, 2008 and March 28th, 2012.

 

[Giant Robo]

do we know that the "campaign" is called? I'm going to my dealer for the first time later this week and will be asking them about this.

 

[OneFunGenesis]

Just ask them about any open recalls. They will find it that way with your VIN

Had my first oil change done today and I had forgotten about this. After having my car in the bay for an hour, they came out and informed me the TSB would be done.
He also said to bring the car by if it continues to consume oil and they would top it off and document the issue.
