  • Recall 2021674 [Canada]: Engine
    Issue: hyundai auto canada is conducting a product improvement campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. Note: this only affects santa fe models equipped with a 2.4 l mpi engine, and veloster models with a 1.6 l gdi engine. Safety risk: a sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of an accident. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire. Corrective actions: hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. Note: hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the owner's manual. If you experience unusual engine noise, reduced power, or a check engine/oil warning light, hyundai advises you to immediately visit a hyundai dealership to have your vehicle diagnosed.

  • Recall 2020592 [Canada]: Engine
    Issue: on certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6 l gdi, 2.0 l gdi, or 2.4 l mpi engine, the connecting rod bearings could wear prematurely. As a result, there could be an abnormal knocking noise from the engine and/or the oil pressure warning light may turn on. If you continue to drive the vehicle with worn connecting rod bearings, the engine could fail. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. In some cases, a damaged connecting rod could puncture the engine block and cause an oil leak. Note: for the sonata model, only the sonata hybrid and plug-in hybrid (phev) models are affected by this recall. Additional note: engine compartment fires can happen for many different reasons. In some cases, there is too much damage to find the cause of a fire. Safety risk: a sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Oil that leaks onto a hot component could cause a fire. Corrective actions: hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer for an engine inspection test, to determine if there is bearing damage. If damage is found, the engine will be replaced. Dealers will also update the software for the engine control module. Note: hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the owner's manual.

To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Known Recall Investigations
  • Hyundai and kia abs module fires investigation as of 20231117

    The office of defects investigation (odi) has received eight hyundai motor america (hyundai) and eight kia america, inc. (kia) part 573 recall reports between 2016 and 2023. The combined 16 safety recalls all involve the antilock braking system (abs) modules or hydraulic electronic control units (hecu) manufactured by the equipment supplier mando. The part 573 recall reports contain varying defect descriptions and differing remedy descriptions for the same or similar equipment supplied by mando. Safety recalls included in this audit query (aq) review include: hyundai recalls 20v-520, 20v-543, 21v-161, 21v-160, 21v-303, 22v-056, 22v-810, and 23v-651. Kia recalls 16v-815, 20v-518, 20v-519, 21v-137, 21v-331, 22v-051, 22v-800, and 23v-652 the purpose of this aq is to evaluate the timeliness and scoping of hyundai and kia’s defect decision making and adherence with reporting requirements; and understand the varying defect descriptions and remedies between these recalls.

  • Engine fires investigation as of 20211222

    In 2017, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened two recall queries (rq17-003 and 004) following multiple recall actions initiated by hyundai and kia for “theta ii” engine-equipped vehicles. The rqs were opened to investigate both the timeliness and scope of the recalls as well as the compliance of each company to meet their reporting requirements established under the motor vehicle safety act. Numerous violations of the requirements were found for both companies, and in on november 20, 2020, both companies entered into consent orders with nhtsa to resolve nhtsa’s assertions of violations of law. Both consent orders remain in effect.In 2018, the center for automotive safety (cas) petitioned the agency under defect petition (dp) 18-003 to investigate non-crash fires on various hyundai and kia models, citing 120 voqs alleging vehicle fires at varying points of origin and occurring under various non-crash related circumstances (including key-off fires). In opening dp18-003, odi noted that many of the 120 fire incidents appeared to originate in the engine compartment area and made reference to the two open rq investigations as likely pertinent. Odi issued information request (ir) letters to hyundai and kia and several peer oems in its efforts to properly evaluate and disposition cas’ petition.After reviewing responses to the dp requests, odi granted cas’ petition and in 2019 opened two preliminary evaluations (pe19-003 and 19-004, one for each company) to broadly investigate incidents of non-crash fires (regardless of origin or operational status of the vehicle) on various model year hyundai (sonata and santa fe) and kia (optima, sorento and soul) models. Odi issued additional, more broadly scoped ir letters to both hyundai and kia, which upon review, identified certain vehicle populations exhibiting higher rates of non-crash fires for various defects and points of origin, including some due to engine failure.To date, hyundai and kia have issued several recallsto address vehicle fires, including those due to engine failure involving various engine types (theta ii gdi, theta ii mpi, theta ii mpi hev, nu gdi, and gamma gdi). The remedies for the engine failure recalls typically involve engine inspection (to detect existing damage), and if necessary, engine replacement. Additionally, both manufacturers are 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). They have even replaced engines if the ksds software detects an impending engine failure.The 78 voqs cited above, which all involve fires likely due to engine failure, consist of 36 remedy-related and 42 scope-related incidents. The injury allegations involve eye and burn injuries not requiring medical treatment. With the 83 other voqs, odi is aware of 161 fires potentially due to engine failures. The downloadable version of the resume available at nhtsa.Gov contains additional information on the recall actions and id numbers for the voqs.The office of defects investigation (odi) is opening this engineering analysis for two primary purposes. First, the investigation will continue to evaluate the scope of recalls initially begun under prior odi actions (see below), and will also include other recalls for fires due to engine failures, which hyundai and kia have subsequently launched (many influenced by odi investigations). Second, the investigation will monitor and evaluate the efficacy of the recall remedies for engine fire related recalls, as well as the long-term viability of related programs and non-safety field actions being conducted by hyundai and kia.

Driving on major highway, car lost power. Stepping on the gas would not allow the car to move. Car is no longer able to be driven and had to be towed to dealership. We are being told the engine is bad and needs to be replaced. The only detail is there is a noise. This is similar to the same problem as the earlier year vehicles. This is a huge safety concern and luckily nobody was injured and there was no crash or fire. It has taken 4 days to get a diagnostic from hyundai. They will not authorize a rental until warranty work is authorized by hyundai, which could take another three to four days. Considering the service dept is trying to go through hyundai for warranty instead of the extended warranty company leads me to believe there is something bigger that they are not being transparent about.

While driving with my sunroof closed, i started hearing a strange popping, cracking noise. A few seconds later, there was a loud boom noise followed being showered by broken glass shards. My sunroof exploded, out of the blue. No collision, impact, or fast speeds. It was there one minute and gone the next.

Cylinder 1 has been misfiring. Has the error code P0301. I took it in to hyundai and they said it was just a spark plug. Changed spark plugs and coil packs and the problem resolved for a few months and now is worse. Misfires/backfires in the engine when pressing gas. Loud popping sound comes out of the engine. The car also does not drive properly. It is shaky when driving.

Dual clutch transmission failing. Intermittently boot ot engaging into r or d gear and slips out of gear while driving on street or highway. I've done research and it appears this is a very common concern from a high number of hyundai veloster owners. I concider it dangerous as how it happened to me while driving trying to accelerate, gear slipped out and vehicle only reved high and no acceleration. Luckily no fast traffic was behind me. This could have been worst. This has happed twice and hyundai has yet not found a fix and told me they cant find problem as there is no trouble codes registered in transmission. Mileage when first happened to me was about 50k and second time at 90k. Every maintenance has been been performed to vehicle with records.

The automatic transmission fails to shift. The rpm's will increase but the speed will not. The transmission will not re-engage until the vehicle is turned off and restarted. This happens when the vehicle is in motion and accelerating, usually while i am on and incline and after the trasmission has been through frequent shifts at high rpm's. I have video but it is too large to upload. The problem can be viewed on youtube with a vehicle experiencing the identical problem.

When the car is first turned on and put into reverse it periodically will not go into gear. If you put the car back into park and then into reverse it still will not go into gear. You must put the car into neutral and then into gear. This has happened twice in the past two months. We have recorded the transmission not going into gear and both hyundai of america and our dealer are doing nothing. I've been told that if they can't reproduce it themselves 'it is operating as designed'. This is a major component of any car and it having gear changing issues makes me concerned that it could escalate beyond this.

All the sensors are continual registering problem. Electrical system will stop working daily. Cannot have hood shut when key out of the ignition. If so alarm will go off. Suspension is off. It seems like the car is pulling a camper all the time. The problem has been continually getting worse the past 6 months.

Approximately 1 year after purchasing my vehicle (roughly 2017) while driving on the highway my fan control knob started spinning freely, it still worked but concerned i called my dealership who all but dismissed the complaint. A few months later the knob started working intermittently and would on occasion cut off the fan if i were to hit a bump. By the end of 2019 the knob had completely stopped working. I had held off on getting it repaired as it is an expensive fix and after doing quite a lot of research i discovered it is an extremely common issue with my make and model car. It poses a serious hazard as where i live it is extremely humid and cold during the winter months and no amount of wiping and cleaning the windshield gets rid of all of the fog meaning it poses a real threat by limiting visibility.

Transmission would hesitate when going from a complete stop to trying to go. This issue also occurs if you are completely stopped or while going up a hill at slow speeds.

Kumho kh tires are dangerous. The tires on this vehicle do not qualify for tamy current recall. They desperately need to be recalled and replaced due to poor quality, separation and loosing air. Many veloster owners have experienced this serious safety issue. Please take notice and develop an action plan to remedy this problem. Many thanks!

I was driving the 2015 veloster turbo on a straight portion of the freeway between 65 and 70 miles per hour with the sunroof open. The sunroof shattered unexpectedly, and glass flew both into the car, and out behind the car. The glass landed on my arms, head, lap, and went down my back as well. I swerved to the right as a reflex to being startled, and then overcorrected and went left past my lane. I did not hit any cars, however. Glass kept falling on to the freeway, into the car, and on my head for a few more minutes as i made my way to the dealership service department. Once at the dealership, i inspected the damage and found that the glass shards had made many cuts into the paint toward the back half of the car. The dealership later had me circle these scratched with a wax pen. Initially, i was going to be charged a diagnostic fee, but when i mentioned that this had been an issue for previous year models, another service consultant jumped in and told me it would all be taken care of under warranty.

I just noticed that on my right front tire there is a bubble on it's side wall. The car leased new back in july of this year. The tires are the kumho solus kh25. I've also noticed here on this site, i seen a complaint for the same thing. I'm have an appointment on monday to see what are they going to tell me. As for speed control. This car cant go above 55mph - 60mph while on highway normal curves without the rear swaying while run over divider line on the pavement. Less speed when it rains. I'm really having doubts about this car once it starts to snow.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai veloster. When the vehicle was placed in reverse, it went into neutral and did not immediately go back into drive. The contact stated that the vehicle changed gears by itself without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer updated the computer. The failure recurred three days later and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who then changed the gear shift actuator. The failure recurred within 24 hours and the vehicle was once again taken to the dealer. The dealer replaced the transmission. The failure recurred and the gear system was completely dislocated, unable to shift into reverse or drive. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer and provided the contact with a loaner vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and continued to check on the contact. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 2,900.

I had my 2015 veloster at the dealer 5 times for the auto trans sounding like the axles were bad when going into reverse. Trans was flaring up between 1-2 & 3-4 but was told it was normal.That was 5200 miles. At 14314 this bad cv joint noise started & again was told it was normal.At 20859 trans was replaced per the hyundai field engineer. Both problems still there. Never even got it home before noise started. Back in at 25878 with both problems as of yesterday & now they are saying its a charastic of the vehicle. This vehicle travels 240 miles per day as u can see by the milage. If these axles or cv joints let go my wifes life could be in danger at 70 mph. Ddealer insists no problem & i have notified hyundai of america & the bbb auto line with no call back as of yet. Tnx for your help in advance

I have reported an issue to ronnie freeze, service manager at o. B. , ms. Hyundai in april 2015. Less than 3 months after purchase. I had engine and starting failure for 15-25 minutes after a check sensor code popped up. I gave this code to service, and all they could say was, 'well, i never heard of that'. Let me know if it happens again. And it did, and i reported it, and... Nothing. Same old thing, don't know what that could be. Well after the third time, i began to feel the car running still even when the key was removed. Sounds crazy but i had multiple family members who witnessed this issue. Scary that i reported this also, but nobody knew anything to do. Mr. Freeze at olive branch hyundai acted like i was crazy. I know when there is an issue and i say that i have had one since i signed papers on 01/23/2015. I am extremely lucky that a fire hasn't started with my vehicle apparently not completely shutting down. I feel that someone has known about the current situation with the engine and i also feel that i purchased a lemon this time with hyundai. I love my car and truly hate the feeling of not knowing if i will be safe the next time i get in my vehicle to drive anywhere. I feel that a satisfactory response is needed immediately from hyundai as to what i should expect from them. I need answers right away. It has been too long or hyundai to decide what the solution will be. I need a response from the company now! I no longer put 100% trust in hyundai. What could the recall cover? A replacement engine, and replacement rod bearings, and everything else that could be damaged? I feel like hyundai has failed major by not doing anything to remedy the defect in a reasonable amount of time!! I don't have a safe car to drive anywhere now. I want answers.
