• 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.

• Air bag acu electrical overstress investigation # EA19001

  The office of defects investigation (odi) is expanding the investigation to include the equipment supplier and vehicle manufacturers (oems) using this unit.The investigation focuses on acus manufactured by trw, now zf-trw (zf) , the tier-one supplier to hyundai and kia and the other affected oems.The acu senses a vehicle crash to determine whether air bag deployment is required, and if so, deploys the appropriate air bags and other supplemental restraints.Zf supplied subject acus to six oems: fca, honda, hyundai, kia, mitsubishi and toyota.Internal to the acu is an electronic component (an application specific integrated circuit, or asic) that monitors signals from crash sensors.A failure of the asic may prevent deployment of the required air bags and devices, or may otherwise affect the proper operation of the acu.The acu is located in the passenger compartment, and electrical wiring connects the asic to sensors located at the front of the vehicle.Odi?S current understanding is that a crash event may, in and of itself, produce harmful signals on the sensor wiring capable of damaging the asic, although the probability of this occurring appears to be low.While the acu incorporates electrical circuitry intended to protect the asic from harmful signals, the level and effectiveness of the protective circuitry varies by oem customer.During pe18-003, hyundai and kia filed recalls (18v-137 and 18v-363 respectively) to address a defect that could result in acu disablement and non-deployments.According to the filings, the disablement occurs in certain types of frontal crash events.Both filings discussed a condition known as electrical overstress (eos) that affected the subject asic and was likely caused by electrical signals that entered the acu via sensor wiring.The recalled vehicles used acus that had the lowest levels of asic protection while non-recalled hyundai and kia products using subject acus had higher levels of protection.Odi has not identified any eos failures in the non-recalled kia and hyundai populations.In september 2016, fca filed recall 16v-668 for certain model year (my) 2010 to 2014 chrysler, dodge and jeep products also manufactured with the subject acu.In that filing, fca also discussed an eos condition that resulted in a failure of the subject asic, which caused air bag non-deployment. Fca noted that the defect condition had only been observed in vehicles equipped with sensor harnessing routed across the front of the vehicle.Other fca vehicles that also used the subject acu, but not the cross-car harnessing, had not experienced eos failures, despite similar time in service. The recalled fca vehicles used a mid-level form of asic protection.Other fca vehicles that did not use cross car wiring, or used higher levels of asic protection, have not been recalled.Odi has not identified any eos failures in the non-recalled fca population.Recently, odi has identified two substantial frontal crash events (one fatal) involving toyota products where eos is suspected as the likely cause of the non-deployments.The crashes involved a my 2018 and a my 2019 corolla equipped with the subject acu that incorporated higher levels of asic protection.Additionally, both acus were found to be non-communicative (meaning the acu could not be read with an event data recorder) after the crash, a condition found in other cases where eos occurred with other oems.No other eos events have been identified for other toyota products (including corolla models that used the subject acu since my 2011), or for the honda and mitsubishi vehicles that use the subject acu.Odi plans to evaluate the susceptibility of

Trunk latch failed. Trunk would not open, even when used emergency trunk release. Eventually, latch broke and trunk would not close. Two potential safety issues: 1. Emergency trunk release would not work, negating ability for someone trapped in trunk to open it; 2. Exhaust fumes entering cabin through open trunk.

The contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle was restarted, and the power steering functionality was restored. The contact stated that the traction control and power steering warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

The trunk will not open by any means, at times it can be opened, but the emergency release does not work. If anyone gets in, they cannot get out, especially with the hybrids which do not have fold down back seats. Federal mandate states the trunk must have an operational emergency release, but with the trunk latch issue, the emergency release does not work.

The trunk will not open by any means, the button inside, the key fob, the mechanical key, the smart trunk open feature. Mine is the hybrid and does not have fold down back seats. So there is no way to open it from inside or outside only via the inside of the trunk. It just has 28,045 miles. I called the dealer bob king hyundai and they did not know if it is under warranty and it will cost $130 just to look at it?

Was driving on a busy road. Turned the corner and went to accelerate and once i hit 45 my steering locked up, couldn't turn or adjust my vehicle at all. I had my 3 kids in the car and was lucky we could get to the side of the road. Shut off the car and started it up and seemed fine. Then later that day i was driving on highway going 65 and my steering locked up and i couldn't drive. Lucky it was early morning and no traffic because i was able to get to the side of the road. This needs to be recalled before someone loses their life!

The contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while merging onto a highway at 50 mph, the vehicle independently decelerated to 30 mph and shifted into limp mode. The contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact then had the vehicle towed to a dealer where he was informed that the failure was linked to a software update. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.

While driving the engine light comes on and blinks rapidly and the car drops from the speed of 65 to 15 or below in second. The code was P1326 with is the knock senor. I changed it and the code went away. Weeks later the code returned while driving again with me and my 3 little babies in the car again. Same issue engine light came on blinking speed drop rapidly. Read this is an occurring issue with this car and it must be taken in to the dealer for fixing.Dealer refused to check out the issue.

I had just left my house and was just a few miles down the road turning onto the main highway. The steering wheel jerked and then the steering wheel locked up like it had no power steering and i could not turn the wheel. Three lights came on on the dashboard, an exclamation point, a steering wheel and the traction lights all came on. It was a sunny day and there was no rain the pavement was not slick. I had to pull over on the side of the road and let my husband drive my vehicle. We had to take it in to the dealership and they said it was a sensor in the steering column and the entire steering column would have to be replaced at a cost if $2000.00. This is not a driver error this is a manufacturer error and it is not covered under any warranty. My car only has 67,500 miles on it and this should be recalled for the 2017 hyundai sonata‘s. After researching online about steering issues with the hyundai sonata’s i discovered that the 2015 hyundai sonata’s have been recalled for the steering and so have the hyundai elantra’s. I called the hyundai corporation and they said that there had to be a class action lawsuit for the 2017 models to get a recall. This could have been extremely dangerous had i been on a busier street. Hyundai needs to step up and recall this.

I had just left my house and had stopped to turn on main road. My steering wheel jerked a little and then when i went to turn it was extremely hard to turn. I pulled over to let my husband try and he had a hard time. The steering wheel light and an exclamation point came on and the traction lights came on but it was not even raining. We took the car to the dealership and they said it was a sensor in the steering column. It would cost $2000.00 to repair it. My car only has 67500 miles on it. They said the 100000 mile power/tran warranty does not cover the steering column... I search online about steering issues with the sonata and it seems very common. The 2015 models have a recall fir this issue. Had i been on a very busy street this could have been extremely dangerous because i could not control the steering of my car at all. I called the hyundai corporation and they said sorry there has to be a class action lawsuit with hundreds of names for a recall to be issued. They said to keep my records and if the model is recalled then they will reimburse me. We are in a pandemic and i don’t have the extra 2000 lying around to spend on a manufacturing safety error.
