Why Is Hyundai Recalling Silver Vehicles?
Per the brief, the silver Hyundai vehicles that are part of the recall have an issue with their automatic braking features. The report explains that “the Highway Drive Assist (HDA) corner radar may falsely detect another vehicle, which can result in sudden, unintended braking while driving.”This only happens to silver vehicles, and that’s because of the way that light reflects off the paint. The NHTSA says that “for vehicles in the Savile Silver exterior color, the front corner radar signals may reflect off the Aluminum content in the silver bumper cover paint and pass through the front bumper beam.”
