Hyundai Motor America is recalling 8,176 model year 2019-2020 Nexo Fuel Cell and model year 2019-2021 Kona Electric vehicles.

The automobile manufacturing company stated that the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) system may detect an abnormal sensor signal, and as a result, may significantly reduce braking performance, agency report said.

Reduced braking power could lengthen the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The current recall is expected to begin January 22, 2021.
