Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:SWITCHES/KNOBS/BUTTONS filed June 18, 2021

NHTSA complaint #1752910 (ODI reference 11421430) concerns a 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER and was filed on June 18, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 16, 2021. The report was geocoded to Georgia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:wiring:switches/knobs/buttons, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI VELOSTER cohort independently describe similar electrical system:wiring:switches/knobs/buttons failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
