Parking assistant makes life easier for many car owners. However, in the case of Hyundai 2020 Sonata and Nexo models, this assistant can cause a road traffic accident (RTA).
We are talking about the so-called intelligent remote parking assistant RSPA (Remote Smart Parking Assist). It allows the car to autonomously park or exit a parking space even without the presence of a driver in the car.
The system is also capable of independently placing the car into parking in reverse when the driver presses the corresponding button. The assistant allows you to park the car in confined spaces when opening the doors is difficult due to the lack of sufficient space.
So, it is reported that the work of the RSPA has identified an issue that leads to the fact that the car may not stop in time during the parking process, which creates a risk of collision with other vehicles or objects.
The cause of the malfunction is the incorrect operation of the software. To date, there is talk of a recall of approximately 12 thousand cars. It is noted that there were no casualties.
Service center specialists will reprogram the electronic control unit to fix the problem. Of course, all work will be done free of charge for the owners.
