Known issues on the 2015 Veloster. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It is filed against the hydraulic service brakes, under antilock and traction control: an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The campaign covers the 2012-2015 Veloster along with other Hyundai models. Owners have filed 184 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 107 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are tracing a brake control fault, servicing the turbocharged 1.6L in a Turbo R-Spec or working through a scheduled interval on a base car, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct figure for your 2015 Veloster.
