• Engine fires investigation # EA21003

  On march 29, 2019, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened two preliminary evaluations (pe19-003 on hyundai and pe19-004 on kia) to broadly investigate incidents of non-crash fires (regardless of origin or operational status of the vehicle) on various model year hyundai and kia vehicles.  during the pe investigations, hyundai and kia issued several recalls to address vehicle fires, including those due to engine failures involving various engine types.  the remedies for the engine failure recalls typically involve engine inspection (to detect existing damage), and if necessary, engine replacement.  additionally, both manufacturers have been installing an engine control software modification known as knock sensor detection software (ksds) which is intended to detect impending engine failure, alert the driver, and limit engine power (to lessen likelihood of engine failure).Ksds is being installed under recalls and non-safety field actions, and both companies have extended limited engine warranties (see recall files). On december 22, 2021, odi upgraded pe19-003 and pe19-004 to this engineering analysis (ea21-003, covering both hyundai and kia) to evaluate the scope of the prior recalls related to engine failures/fires and the efficacy of the recall remedies for the recalls, as well as the long-term viability of related programs and non-safety field actions being conducted by hyundai and kia.  the former issue involved approximately 550,000 my 2013 hyundai elantra, my 2011 kia sorento, and my 2012-2015 kia rio.  the latter issue involved approximately 2.5 million recalled vehicles, which have been identified as displaying potential remedy concerns: hyundai recalls 15v-568, 17v-226, 20v-746, and 21v-727; and kia recalls 17v-224, 19v-120, 20v-750, and 21v-844. Regarding the recall scope issue, among all of the scope vehicles identified at ea opening, odi found only the my 2011 kia sorento vehicles equipped with both the theta ii 2.4l 4-cylinder multi-point injection (mpi) and the lambda ii 3.5l 6-cylinder mpi engines experienced relatively high rates of reported fires.  in december 2023, kia issued recall 23v-877 that will cover about 80,000 my 2011 kia sorento vehicles equipped with the theta ii 2.4l mpi engines.  the remedy will involve an inspection, and if necessary, a replacement of the engine, as well as the installation of ksds.  it should be noted that in 2021 these vehicles were included in a ksds product improvement campaign with warranty extension.  for the my 2011 sorento vehicles equipped with the lambda ii 3.5l engines, odi believes that future engine failures/fires involving these vehicles will likely be due to a lax in adhering to the proper or scheduled engine maintenance (regular engine oil changes), rather than a design or manufacturing engine issue. Regarding the issue of the efficacy of the recall remedies, odi found the majority of the recalled hyundai and kia vehicles, by model, experienced lower reported fire rates after the remedies were applied.  furthermore, odi found that for most vehicles that did not receive the recall remedies, by model, experienced relatively high fire rates.  to address this problem, hyundai informed odi in december 2023, that it will renotify all of its owners covered by the hyundai recalls of engine failures/fires every 8 months for the next 3 years.  in december 2023, kia stated that it will renotify the majority of its owners every 8 months for the next 3 years.Several previously recalled kia models are excluded from the renotification due to their lower reported rates of engine fires.  overall, the renotification actions will help to increase the recall completion rates, thus reduce the frequency of engine fires in the future. In view of the recall action being taken by kia and renotification actions being taken by both kia and hyundai, odi is closing this engineering analysis.  also, both companies have been released from the 2020-iniated consent orders (kia since november 2022 and hyundai since november 2023).  the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.  to review the reports cited in the closing resume odi report identification number document, go to nhtsa.Gov.

• Non-crash vehicle fires investigation # PE19003

  In a letter dated jun 11, 2018, the center for auto safety (cas) petitioned the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) to initiate a safety defect investigation into non-collision related fires on model year (my) 2011-2014 kia optima and sorento, and hyundai sonata and santa fe vehicles.In a letter dated july 24, 2018, cas requested that my 2010-2015 kia soul vehicles be added to the petition.Cas stated that there is a higher number of complaints to nhtsa regarding non-crash fires on these vehicles compared to other similar vehicles.The office of defects investigation (odi) had already opened a recall query (rq17-004) on all hyundai vehicles equipped with theta ii engines for engine failures that may cause stalling and fires.The query covers most of the petition subject sonata and santa fe vehicles.On august 21, 2018, odi opened a defect petition (dp18-003) to evaluate whether to grant or deny the cas petition.Odi sent an information request letter to hyundai (september 2018) requesting information on all engine and non-engine related fires in the petition hyundai vehicles.Odi performed extensive analysis on the information obtained from hyundai.During the dp18-003 analysis, hyundai initiated three additional safety recalls related to engine compartment fires on certain petitioned and non-petitioned vehicles, (nearly 240,000 total vehicles: recalls 18v-934, 19v-063, and 19v-204). In addition to engine compartment fires, odi has received allegations of vehicle fires affecting other components, including taillight housings, taillight wire harnesses, and/or light bulbs. Based on odis review of the applicable materials, including responses to information requests sent to multiple manufacturers, vehicle owner questionnaires (voq), and early warning data, nhtsa has decided to grant the petition.The petition is hereby granted. A preliminary evaluation has been opened to assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety-related consequences of alleged defects relating to non-collision vehicle fires in the 2011-2014 sonata and 2011-2014 santa fe.While prior recalls of vehicles covered by this pe have primarily related to engine fires, nhtsas preliminary evaluation is not limited to engine components and may cover additional vehicle systems or components as well.Attached is a list of the reference numbers for the 160 voqs cited above.

The drivers side low beam headlight did not come on....Replaced the light bulb and it worked, so reinstalled the light assy into its housing,,checked it and it did work.... 5 hours later as i was leaving home the drivers side low beam was not lite again.....The next day, replaced the bulb with a new one thinking i got a bad bulb....Same thing happened...I have a lite headlight on the passenger side, high beams work, turn signals work, fog lamps work..So it is not a fuse or a relay. Googled 2014 hyundai santa fe low beam headlight and found this is a common, constant, and unresolved issue..Called my hyundai dealer, earliest he can look at the car is weeks away. So the safety issue is how do i drive at night ? Hyundai must be aware of this issue, but there is not any recall i can find..I know i am using a correct replacement bulb, and they cost $18.00 each......Thank you

The steering column makes a loud clicking noise - read online an several youtube videos that there is a defective part in the steering unit on a lot of these. Steering is very big part of control especially with kids in the car i think there should be a recall to fix the part in hyaundia that is clicking in all the steering very serious problem because it is how u control the car.

Hyundai had recall campaign 194 in place to address faulty abs module but never developed a suitable remedy to correct problem, consequently turning people away at dealerships with no fix - now they have recall campaign 205 replacing 194 to correct the module problem but again hyundai says they have no solution for problem so far and give no perspective date for finding a solution - customers are still faced with threat of fire from leaking break fluid with no remedy in sight except for an unbelievable warning from hyundai to not park the car in a garage -

The pistons started popping and then car wouldn't start anymore. Hyundai wouldn't help with anything even thought there are less than 100,000 miles on the car because i am the second owner. There is a recall for this year but on 4 cylinder engine but mine is a 6 cylinder. I find it really hard to believe this is not related to their recall.

Took the car in for a recall and service engine soon light on february 4th. When i got almost home there were 4 more lights on. Rear wheel sensors, skid control, downhill and car approaching light. Made an appointment to get these fixed and i explained i had car shield and they said they accepted car shield. Today, may 5th when i took the car back (first appt. I could get) after i sat there for 1-1/2 hours they came back and told me more things were wrong and informed me at that time they no long use car shield. I'm done with hyundai. They run you in circles and treat you like [xxx] and the tech had the nerve to get mad at me.

There is a known issue with the gdi engines that is causing an oil consumption issue. Hyundai is aware and is not willing to cover the cost for what they say may fix the issue of the vehicle is out of warranty. It is affecting many vehicles and the dealerships are passing it off to hyundai and hyundai is stating it should be covered under engine warranty and it is not.
