2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS — Complaint #1759844
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:ELECTRICAL:CONTROL MODULE filed July 27, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1759844 (ODI reference 11426655) concerns a 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS and was filed on July 27, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 1, 2021. The vehicle had 23,763 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:electrical:control module, 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 GENESIS cohort independently describe similar parking brake:electrical:control module 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 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
