The 2007 Hyundai Azera has 4 recalls, the most serious being water intrusion into the ABS module that can cause an electrical short and start an engine compartment fire, even while the car is parked and off.
Two recalls involve the driver's power seat moving on its own without any input from the driver. A faulty power seat switch can cause the seat to slide forward or backward, rise, drop, or recline unexpectedly, all while the vehicle is in motion. This kind of sudden shift in seating position can make it harder to reach the pedals or maintain control of the steering wheel, raising the risk of a crash. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, which is why it appears under more than one filing.
The remaining recall concerns the front passenger seatbelt. The wiring harness connected to the right front seat belt tension sensor can wear down after repeated use of the belt, and if that sensor stops working correctly, the airbag system may not deploy as intended in a crash, leaving the front passenger with less protection than expected.
