The 2009 Hyundai Accent has two recalls, both concerning the same issue: a brake light switch that can malfunction and leave the brake lights dark when the pedal is pressed, making it harder for drivers behind to know the car is slowing down.
A faulty switch can also prevent cruise control from disengaging when the brake pedal is applied, which compounds the risk in highway driving.
