Known issues on the 2008 Veracruz. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, and two of them land on the same part. Both cover the stop lamp switch: in the earlier campaign (09V122000), the listed malfunctions, alone or in combination, may lead to a crash; in the later one (13V113000), the fault is a failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or an inability to disengage the cruise control. A third recall (11V472000) covers the frontal air bags, where the clock spring can develop high resistance, with the driver's air bag at issue in the event of a crash. The fourth (08E055000) covers trailer hitch wiring, where a short circuit can cause overheating and damage to the converter module. Owners have filed 361 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 43 technical service bulletins.

Tracing a dead stop lamp circuit, checking a clock spring for resistance or working through a scheduled service on the 3.8L V6, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2008 Veracruz.
