Hyundai recalls NEXO and Sonata vehicles with parking assist software errors. April 18, 2020 — A Hyundai Remote Smart Parking Assist recall for nearly 12,000 vehicles has been issued for 2020 NEXO fuel-cell SUVs and 2020 Sonata cars. The parking assist systems may do more harm than good because software may fail to prevent the vehicles from moving when they detect malfunctions of the systems. The Hyundai Remote Smart Parking Assist feature is programmed with a fail-safe mode that will prevent vehicle movement upon detection of a system malfunction. But errors in the software could cause the vehicle to continue moving in its last commanded direction, something that could cause a crash into pedestrians, other vehicles or surrounding objects. The automaker learned of the defect in February during testing of the fail-safe mode in the Remote Smart Parking Assist feature.
