Issue Overview

In close coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Hyundai has recalled more than one million vehicles to address a manufacturing issue that could lead to engine failure and in certain circumstances an engine fire. While the majority of incidents among affected vehicles are limited to engine knocking, there have been instances of stalling, meaning the engine may stop running while the vehicle is being driven. Importantly, drivers in this situation can maintain control of the vehicle as brakes, steering and safety devices like airbags remain operational. Typically, as an engine becomes inoperable, drivers will be alerted by warning lights and sounds, and while the engine may experience some hesitation, drivers should have time to safely move the vehicle off the road.

For those vehicles whose engines were replaced through the recall, Hyundai out of an abundance of caution has issued a follow-on recall to inspect and confirm proper reinstallation of the fuel tube to the high-pressure fuel pump. While Hyundai is not aware of any fires caused by this issue, nothing is more important than the safety and security of Hyundai customers.
