NHTSA safety advisory

Do not drive this vehicle

NHTSA advises owners to stop driving this vehicle until the recall repair has been completed.

This is the agency’s own advisory, not our assessment. Contact the manufacturer or a dealer, and see the official NHTSA notice for the current guidance.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (improperly welded cross braces) that can lead to unintended brake lock and increased crash risk, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2022-2024 CGN3-20/40 and CGNS-20/40 12-Pin extended chassis. The recall involves 562 vehicles where the cross braces located above the chassis air tanks may have been improperly welded.

An improperly welded cross brace can detach from the vehicle, creating a road hazard. Additionally, a falling cross brace may damage the air tank airline, causing an unintended brake lock. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Hyundai Translead will work with owners and repair shops to apply welds and install brackets on cross braces, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 19, 2023. Owners may contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-800-251-0871 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
