| Recurring |
unknown |
(a) The article does not mention any previous incidents of the software failure related to water ingress into the anti-lock brake module within Hyundai's products or services. Therefore, there is no information available to suggest that a similar incident has happened before within the same organization [67701].
(b) The article does not provide information about similar incidents happening at other organizations or with their products and services. Hence, there is no data available to indicate that a similar incident has occurred elsewhere [67701]. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
design |
(a) The software failure incident in the article is related to the design phase. The issue with water ingress into the anti-lock brake module causing an electrical short circuit leading to a fire risk is a design flaw in the system. Hyundai is addressing this issue by installing a relay in the vehicle's main fuse panel to eliminate the possibility of the ABS module shorting out while the car is off, indicating a design-related failure [67701].
(b) There is no information in the article suggesting that the software failure incident is related to the operation phase. The reported issue is specifically linked to a design flaw in the anti-lock brake module, rather than any misuse or operational error [67701]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) The software failure incident related to the ABS module in Hyundai vehicles is within_system. The issue is caused by water ingress into the anti-lock brake module, leading to an electrical short circuit that could result in an engine compartment fire. Hyundai is addressing this issue by installing a relay in the vehicle's main fuse panel to eliminate the possibility of the ABS module shorting out while the car is off [67701]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
non-human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident in this case is not related to non-human actions but rather to a potential electrical short circuit in the anti-lock brake module due to water ingress, which could lead to an engine compartment fire [67701]. This issue is described as occurring under specific conditions when the car is off and stored for an extended period of time, indicating that it is not a result of non-human actions but rather a design flaw or vulnerability in the system. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
hardware |
(a) The software failure incident in the article is related to hardware. The issue mentioned is water ingress into the anti-lock brake module causing an electrical short circuit that could result in an engine compartment fire. The fix for this potential short involves dealers installing a relay in the vehicle's main fuse panel to eliminate the possibility of the ABS module shorting out while the car is off [67701]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
(a) The software failure incident described in the article is non-malicious. It is related to water ingress into the anti-lock brake module causing an electrical short circuit that could result in an engine compartment fire, even if the vehicle isn't running. Hyundai is conducting a recall to address this issue by installing a relay in the vehicle's main fuse panel to eliminate the possibility of the ABS module shorting out while the car is off. The article mentions that this issue can only occur under specific conditions when the car is off and stored for an extended period of time, indicating that it is not a deliberate act of sabotage but rather a technical flaw [67701]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
unknown |
The software failure incident related to the ABS module recall by Hyundai does not directly point to a software failure caused by poor decisions or accidental decisions. The issue was related to water ingress into the anti-lock brake module causing an electrical short circuit that could result in an engine compartment fire. The fix involved installing a relay in the vehicle's main fuse panel to eliminate the possibility of the ABS module shorting out while the car is off. The incident was described as occurring under very rare and specific conditions when the car is off and stored for an extended period of time, with no risk of the issue occurring while the car is being driven. The article does not attribute the software failure to poor or accidental decisions [67701]. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
unknown |
The article does not mention any software failure incident related to development incompetence or accidental factors. Therefore, the information about these specific types of software failure incidents is unknown based on the provided article. |
| Duration |
temporary |
The software failure incident mentioned in the article is temporary. The issue with water ingress into the anti-lock brake module causing an electrical short circuit that could result in an engine compartment fire only occurs under specific conditions when the car is off and stored for an extended period of time (1-2 weeks) [67701]. |
| Behaviour |
other |
(a) crash: The software failure incident in the article does not involve a crash where the system loses state and does not perform any of its intended functions. The issue described is related to a potential electrical short circuit in the anti-lock brake module that could cause an engine compartment fire when the vehicle is off and stored for an extended period of time [67701].
(b) omission: The software failure incident does not involve omission where the system omits to perform its intended functions at an instance(s). The issue described is more related to a potential short circuit in the ABS module rather than the system omitting any functions [67701].
(c) timing: The software failure incident does not involve timing issues where the system performs its intended functions correctly but too late or too early. The issue described is more related to a potential electrical short circuit in the anti-lock brake module that could cause a fire under specific conditions when the car is off and stored for an extended period of time [67701].
(d) value: The software failure incident does not involve a value issue where the system performs its intended functions incorrectly. The issue described is more related to a potential electrical short circuit in the anti-lock brake module that could cause an engine compartment fire under specific conditions [67701].
(e) byzantine: The software failure incident does not exhibit a byzantine behavior where the system behaves erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions. The issue described is more related to a potential electrical short circuit in the anti-lock brake module that could cause a fire under specific conditions when the car is off and stored for an extended period of time [67701].
(f) other: The software failure incident in the article can be categorized as a potential safety hazard due to an electrical short circuit in the anti-lock brake module that could lead to an engine compartment fire even when the vehicle is not running. The fix involves installing a relay in the vehicle's main fuse panel to prevent the ABS module from shorting out while the car is off [67701]. |
