2012 Hyundai Veloster Service and Repair Manual

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2012 Veloster. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the electrical system: high conductive liquid may leak into the Reverse Park Aid Sensor (RPAS), and an electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire. The second is filed against the hydraulic antilock braking and traction control system, where an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The third covers the panoramic sunroof assembly, which may have been weakened at the factory, in which case the panoramic glass panel may break. The fourth covers the 12V accessory socket outlet, which may have been over-tightened, and an overheated accessory outlet increases the risk of fire. Owners have filed 407 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 108 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are tracing a short in the accessory circuit, inspecting the sunroof assembly, or working through a scheduled service on the 1.6L, the procedure you follow is Hyundai's own and the value you set is the one specified for this 2012 Veloster.
