“Well i have this a year and the horn went a month ago. I also have a hyundai Kona 2022 and it has had the horn replaced twice. Its a common issue with hyundai and safety issue especially where we drive in a city full of new college students from out of town snd people make erratic moves and safety concerns. It is a required part on a car and now this will be the 3rd time i need to replace it”

When this error does pop up, the rear turn signal ceases to operate until the error message clears itself. Dealership cannot duplicate . I have photographed the warning many times. Hyundai corporate is of no help. Check LED headlamp error issue as well.”
