Hyundai Motor Co has issued a vehicle safety recall covering 42,925 sedans in the United States. Vehicles are called back due to potentially faulty brake lights, according to paperwork filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Hyundai recall affects certain 2009-2010 Genesis and 2011 Equus sedans. According to the automaker, the issue with the vehicles is that a circuit failure could cause brake light to not illuminate. This can lead to a rear-end crash if the driver of the vehicle behind fails to recognize the vehicle ahead is stopping or slowing.

There were no reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue.

Hyundai authorized dealers are instructed to replace the circuit, if necessary, free of charge. The automaker will start sending notifications to the owners of the affected vehicles during the 1st quarter of 2015. There is no notification schedule available yet.
