NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2015 Hyundai Veloster has two recalls, the most serious being a risk of engine compartment fire that can occur while the vehicle is parked or being driven. The fire risk in the first recall traces to the anti-lock brake control module. The second recall involves the connecting rod bearings inside the engine, which can wear prematurely and cause internal engine damage over time, potentially leading to an engine stall or a separate fire risk.
