Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata Hybrid, 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, Veloster, 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe, Santa Fe, 2014-2015 Equus, 2010-2012 Veracruz, 2010-2013 Tucson, 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell, and 2013 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.
An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.
Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the ABS fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024 through October 11, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 251.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2012 Hyundai Elantra and Sonata Hybrid, 2012 Accent and Veloster vehicles. The 12V accessory socket outlet may have been over-tightened during installation, possibly disabling the thermal fuse and allowing the outlet to overheat with prolonged use, such as by using the Tire Mobility Kit air compressor to inflate a tire.
An overheated accessory outlet increases the risk of fire.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Tire Mobility Kit accessory outlet plug with a direct-to-battery connection wire harness kit, free of charge. The recall began September 28, 2020. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 193.

Electronic stability control (ESC)Dec 23, 2015
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Elantra vehicles manufactured October 29, 2010, to October 25, 2011. Due to an electronic stability control (ESC) sensor malfunction, the brakes for one or more wheels may be applied unexpectedly and the engine power may be reduced. These symptoms will be accompanied by illumination of the ESC indicator lamp in the instrument cluster.
If the one or more of the brakes are inappropriately applied, control of the vehicle may be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will verify the proper operation of the ESC sensors, and update the ESC system's calibration, free of charge. The recall began June 6, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 137.

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BEGAN HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 6 TO 9 MONTHS. AS I STEP ON THE GAS AT APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 MPH THE AUTOMOBILE KICKS, BUCKS AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS INTENDED. MY HYUNDAI DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP/ASSEMBLY ($700) AND IT SEEMED TO GET WORSE.FAILURE TO ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED IS A DANGER IF YOU ARE TRYING TO ENTER A BUSY HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER SPEEDING VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR AT SPEEDS UP TO 65 MPH WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT NOT EVERY DAY.

FRONT AXLES ARE LOUD WHILE DRIVING. CHANGED TO A SOFTER COMPOUND TIRE AND MADE A DIFFERENCE. HOWEVER, THE ROAD NOISE HAS BECOME LOUDER AT 77,986. TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AROUND 20,000 MILES.
Engine, Oct 2, 2017
"TAKATA RECALL" POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE. ROUGH IDLE AT COLD START. SMELL GAS AS WELL. RANDOMLY BLOWS HUGE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE OUT THE TAIL PIPE WHILE ACCELERATING. "EXAMPLE" MERGING ON INTERSTATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 50,000 MILES. ALL MAINTENANCE WORK HAS BEEN DONE. NOW AT 77,986 RUNS LIKE A GRASS CUTTER. JUST RUNS ROUGH.

"TAKATA RECALL" TURN IGNITION KEY TO START POSITION AND CLICK, CLICK, MOTOR DOES NOT START. TURN KEY OFF BACK ON TO START POSITION AND ENGINE STARTS. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

TAKATA RECALL. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. LOOKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.
Engine, Sep 4, 2017
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START. ALL LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED. TWO DAYS LATER MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHILE AT THE CAR SHOP ANOTHER ELANTRA OWNER (2011 MODEL YEAR) WAS THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNSURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE BUT I DID LOOK ONLINE AND MANY OWNERS FOR THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA MODEL YEARS 2011-2013 COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE.
Engine, Aug 28, 2017
I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. IT CURRENTLY HAS 84,585 MILES AND I PURCHASED IT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP AT 48,484 MILES. IT WAS INSPECTED BY A HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR AFTER MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND STALLING CONTINUALLY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THE SONATA HAS WHICH IS COVERED IN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT OUR DEALERS REQUEST FOR A NEW SHORT BLOCK WAS DENIED BY HYUNDAI. THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL VALVE, AND ALSO IN THE OIL PAN CAUSED BY SHEARING FROM THE CRANKSHAFT. THERE APPEAR TO BE OTHERS WITH THE SAME CRANKSHAFT ISSUE THAT OWN ELANTRA MODELS AS WELL. PLEASE SEE ABOVE ATTACHMENTS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SAME FAULTY DEBURRING PROCESS THAT WAS USED ON THE SONATA'S CRANK SHAFT MAY HAVE ALSO BEEN USED ON CERTAIN ELANTRA'S DURING THE SAME TIMEFRAME. I ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS OF ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES. IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION THAT IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS DEBURRING PROCESS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED ON OTHER ENGINE MODELS OR IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
Steering, Suspension, Aug 28, 2017
WHEN DRVING THE 2012 ELANTRA OVER A POT HOLE, A MAN HOLE OR ANY OTHER UNEVEN SURFACE OR IMPERFECTION ON THE ROAD THE ELANTRA SWAYS IN AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE MANNER, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FIRM GRIP IN THE STEERING WHEEL YOU CAN DEFINATELY LOOSE CONTROL AND HAVE OR CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THERE ARE SO MANY OWNERS COMPLINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

AIRBAG LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR. IT DOES GO OFF AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES, BUT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON
Electrical system, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jul 13, 2017
THE FIRST TROUBLE STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES/HOUR, MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO DRIVE AT THE SPEED THE CAR WOULD CHOOSE TO RUN AND IN A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD WORK FINE AGAIN. BUT THIS KEPT HAPPENING WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE THE CAR ON HIGHWAYS AND I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS SENSOR PROBLEMS. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I USE AIR CONDITIONING, OR USE THE HEAD LIGHTS. CAR WILL RANDOMLY NOT TURN ON ALTHOUGH BATTERY IS NEW AND MAKES A HUMMING NOISE AS I TURN THE KEY.
Visibility/wiper, Jul 7, 2017
THE SUN VISOR BROKE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LOWER IT INTO POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THE PLASTIC PARTS THAT SURROUND THE ARM INSIDE OF THE VISOR BROKE. THE SOUND AND MOVEMENT OF THE BROKEN VISOR CAUSED ME A MOMENT OF STARTLED, DISTRACTED DRIVING UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND TRY TO DEAL WITH IT. THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP OR DOWN. IT HANGS IN MY LINE OF VISION AND CREATES A DRIVING HAZARD. IT ALSO HANGS TOO CLOSE TO MY HEAD AND CREATES A PHYSICAL HAZARD. I BUMPED MY HEAD ON IT YESTERDAY WHILE AT THE DRIVE-THROUGH PHARMACY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT A WARNING (WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT INSIDE A TRIANGLE IN A YELLOW BOX) INDICATES THAT A CONDITION MAY RESULT IN HARM, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED. THERE IS A WARNING ON PAGE 4-94 OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL THAT STATES, "WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY, DO NOT OBSTRUCT YOUR VISION WHEN USING THE SUNVISOR." HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT OBSTRUCTING ONE'S VISION WITH THE SUNVISOR MAY RESULT IN HARM, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES, AS THEY HAVE ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS IN THE PAST (08-01-029, HYUNDAI RECALL CAMPAIGN T64) FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL ELANTRA, SANTA FE, ACCENT, SONATA, AND OTHER OWNERS. A SIMPLE WEB SEARCH WILL SHOW SEVERAL RESULTS: HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/MD-2011-2016-ELANTRA-SEDAN-COUPE/130049-BROKEN-SUN-VISOR.HTML HTTP://WWW.CARSAFETYREFERENCE.COM/HYUNDAI-SONATA-2007/VISIBILITY_WIPER/ HTTP://WWW.HOWTOMENDIT.COM/ANSWERS.PHP?ID=157121 THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT SUNVISOR WILL COST OVER $100 WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR CHARGES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND/OR EXTENDED WARRANTY.
Engine, Jul 3, 2017
BROUGHT IT IN TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALLED HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINES HAVE.

INTERMITTENT...CAR IS STATIONARY AND I ATTEMPT TO START CAR WITH PUSH START AND THE ENGINE WILL CRANK FOR APPROX 3 SECOND AND THEN START. I TURN CAR OFF AND HEAR A TICK TICK TICK FROM ENGINE. RESTARTS WITH NO HESITATION. THIS IS USUALLY AFTER A DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND THEN I COME HOME AND MAYBE ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER I'LL GO BACK INTO MY CAR AND IT WILL SPUTTER AGAIN. NO SOLUTION AS OF YET.
Suspension, Jun 12, 2017
MY HUSBAND BACKED THE CAR UP 3 INCHES IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE, SHOT THROUGH THE TIRE AND THE TIRE EXPLODED. WE BOUGHT OUR 2012 ELANTRA IN OCTOBER 2011 AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE 2011 ELANTRAS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR CARS THAT ARE OWNED IN THE "SALT BELT" / COLD WEATHER STATES WHICH IS WHERE WE LIVE, BUT THE RECALL WAS ONLY ISSUED FOR ELANTRAS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 11/12/10 TO 3/31/11. MINE IS A 2012 WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2011AND MANUFACTURED SOMETIME BETWEEN MARCH 2011 AND OCTOBER 2011. I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT HYUNDAI, WHICH APPARENTLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE UNTIL AN INCREASE IN WARRANTY CLAIMS ON THE ISSUE STARTED AN INVESTIGATION OF IT IN 2014, CHANGED THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS THEY WERE USING TO MANUFACTURE THE SAME CAR JUST 1 "YEAR" NEWER BETWEEN THE END OF THE RECALLED VEHICLE DATE AND THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF MY 2012 ELANTRA. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH, RELATIVELY NEW TIRES, AND FRONT STRUTS AND SPRINGS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE MORE VEHICLE YEARS SINCE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO REASON FOR THEM TO CHANGE THE PARTS THEY WERE USING BETWEEN 2011 AND 2012 MODELS IF THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A PROBLEM. ALSO, A 2012 ELANTRA THAT WAS POSSIBLE MANUFACTURED IN THE RECALL TIME FRAME SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
Engine, Jun 12, 2017
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON @ 25900 MILES & MANUAL STATES BRING INTO DEALER RIGHT AWAY, THIS WAS ALSO CONFIRMED WITH A CALL TO THE DEALER.. WORK ORDER STATES"TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" STATES TECHNICIAN UPDATED ELECTRICAL CONTROL UNIT, & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. MY CONCERN WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ITEM. SINCE THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN PUT OUR IN THIS ISSUE.
Air bags, Jun 4, 2017
IN MY ELANTRA 2012 THE LIGHT OF THE AIRBAG IS ON, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT SUFFERED ACCIDENTS OR STRONG BLOWS, AND HAS FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER (FOLLOWING THE MANUAL), (95K MILES). THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT MAY COME ON BECAUSE SOME OF THE SENSORS ARE DAMAGED; THE COST OF THE REPAIR CAN RANGE FROM $ 250 UP TO $ 3000. WITH THIS LIGHT ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. HYUNDAI HAS A GOOD REPUTATION, AND SAFETY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VAST MAJORITY OF ELANTRA OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. (GOOGLING). THE SOLUTION SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A RECALL.

CLICKING NOISE WHEN MOVING STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. BOTH STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING. NO RECALL YET BUT WITH THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE, IT SHOULD BE. REPAIR ESTIMATE 425.00.

THE CLOCK SPRING HAS WORN AFTER ROUGHLY 55K MILES AND JUST BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER REPLACEMENT IS $300 AND AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITHOUT REPAIR. THIS BEGAN AFTER GOING OVER ROUGH BRICK PAVERS AND THE LIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY ON, PROBABLY ABOUT 80-90% OF THE TIME. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE VERACRUZ AND SANTA FE MODELS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE A FEW YEAR PRIOR (11-01-052) AND ONLINE SEARCHES SHOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH (AT LEAST) EARLY PRODUCTION ELANTAS. WHILE OWNER DIY REPLACEMENT IS POSSIBLE, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO SRS SYSTEM IMPORTANCE AS WELL AS LACK OF ABILITY TO RECALIBRATE SOFTWARE.
Air bags, May 24, 2017
THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CLAY COOLEY HYUNDAI DEALER IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS DIAGNOSIS WAS THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING REPLACEMENT. HYUNDAI TOLD ME "NO DEALER IN THE COUNTRY HAS THIS PART RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER MUST MAKE NEW PARTS THAT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE 2017." I WAS SENT AWAY AND TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE, MY AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO PART STORE, BUT THE EMPLOYEE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT FUSE THE VEHICLE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.
Engine, May 10, 2017
ENGINE TICKING. BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY INFORMED ME I NEED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME IF I DO NOT GET THE ENGINE FIXED AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT, IT COULD STALL AND OR POTENTIALLY BLOW UP. VEHICLE IS UNDER 100K MILES, HOWEVER I AM SECOND OWNER, SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DO HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS, I DEFINITELY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE SO THERE IS NO REASON TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ON MY BEHALF. HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET AS I DO NOT HAVE 8K LAYING AROUND TO DO SO. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR 2012 ELANTRA ENGINES AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.

Engine, Apr 27, 2017
ELANTRA WITH 1.8L ENGINE DEVELOPED AN ENGINE "TICKING" NOISE AT 60K MILES THAT DEVELOPED INTO A "KNOCKING" NOISE SHORTLY THERE AFTER. MAIN ROD BEARING FAILURE. HAD TO HAVE ENGINE SHORT BLOCK REPLACED. VEHICLE HAD SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE THAT INCLUDED OIL CHANGES MORE FREQUENTLY THAN REQUIRED. ENGINE WOULD HAVE DESTROYED ITSELF AND STALLED IF CONTINUED WITHOUT REPAIR. LIMITED SEARCH ON INTERNET SHOWED MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA RECALL NHTSA REFERENCE #15V568000 ON HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 2.0L AND 2.4L ENGINES.
Engine, Apr 10, 2017
THE ENGINE IS MAKING A TICKING NOISE. WAS TOLD THAT THE LIFTERS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THERE IS TOO MUCH BACK PRESSURE. I WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE. SEVERAL OTHER MODELS ARE UNDER A RECALL BUT NOT THIS BRAND.

ENGINE FAILURE. DRIVING ON FREEWAY.LOST POWER. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOISE FROM ENGINE. PULLED OVER TO GAS STATION. OIL WAS LOW. TOWED TO DEALER. THEY SAID THE CAR HAD SEVERE OIL SLUDGE THROUGHOUT ENGINE. MY CAR WAS MADE AT THE SAME ALABAMA MANUFACTURING PLANT AS THE RECALLED HYUNDAI SONATAS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR ENGINE FAILURE. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. HYUNDAI OF AMERICA WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE MY ENGINE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL MY OIL AND MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS. I HAVE ANOTHER 2006 SATURN THAT I MAINTAINED THE SAME WAY AND IT IS DRIVING PERFECTLY. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL FOR ENGINE FAILURE FOR ELANDRAS BUILT IN ALABAMA IN 2012. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.
