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.

Service brakes, hydraulic, pedals and linkagesNov 30, 2017
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Elantra sedan, coupe and GT vehicles. The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released. This will allow the brake lights to remain illuminated continuously. It can also allow the shift lever to be moved without depressing the brake pedal, or activate the engine management brake pedal override feature.
If the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of PARK without depressing the brake pedal. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 8, 2018. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 170. This campaign expands recall 16V574.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchAug 2, 2016
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model 2013 Elantra vehicles manufactured December 1, 2012, to April 30, 2013. The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released.
If the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of PARK without depressing the brake pedal. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad with an improved part, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 146.

Air bags, side/windowApr 1, 2013

If the headliner support bracket makes contact with an occupant during a crash, it may cause a laceration injury.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will apply adhesive strips to the headliner, free of charge. The safety recall began during April 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 109.

ENGINE STALLED ON ME. EVERY TIME I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT JERKS. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR IT WON'T START. ALSO IF IT TAKES A WHILE TO START IT WILL STALL THE WHOLE TIME WHILE DRIVING. I CAN PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT WILL DRIVE LIKE 1 MILE PER MINUTE. I CAN HEAR THE ENGINE ROARING, BUT IT JUST WON'T MOVE. I TOOK IT IN TO HYUNDAI THEY FIXED IT, BUT NOW MY CAR IS STARTING IT AGAIN. I RECENTLY GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND RIGHT WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDDLE IT JERKED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW IT'S STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING TAKING A WHILE TO START, AND STALLING OUT OF NOWHERE. I CAN ALSO HEAR ALMOST LIKE A KNOCK AND THE GEARS SHIFTING WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHEN I STOP AND GO I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING. I'M AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE FAR IN MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK THIS ENGINE NEED TO BE ASSESSED BECAUSE THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL.

MY 2013 ELANTRA SEDAN BUILT IN ALABAMA ON JUNE 14, 2013, AND EQUIPPED WITH A 1.8L ENGINE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A CANYON, IN TRAFFIC. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE CARS STEERING LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR MORE THAN TO VEER IT OFF THE ROAD WITH THE FORWARD MOMENTUM FROM COMING DOWN A HILL. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE OIL LEVEL BEING TOO LOW. I HAD JUST HAD IT REPLACED AND CHECKED ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE. THEN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CONNECTING ROD THAT HAD BROKEN. I'VE LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WILL NOT PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A REPAIR THAT WOULD BE COVERED IN CANADA.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2017 FROM DEALERSHIP. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE AND LESS THAN 1000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE, AND LESS THAN 64000 MILES TOTAL, THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL ISSUES WITH THE CYLINDERS. ADEQUATE OIL WAS IN CAR AND DEALER INSISTED THAT ALL CHECKS HAD BEEN PERFORMED PRIOR TO SALE. I HAVE RECENTLY READ ABOUT RECALLS FOR OTHER KIA AND HYUNDAI VEHICLES DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME REASON. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE IN HOPE THAT THIS AGENCY WILL CONSIDER INVESTIGATING TO SEE IF THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO HYUNDAI ELANTRAS. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE REPEATING AMONG OTHER VEHICLES MADE BY HYANDAI IN THE SAME TIME FRAME MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RECALLS BY HYUNDAI AND KIA FOR THE ENGINE REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE OTHER RECALLED MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI DID COVER MOST OF COST OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT BUT I WANT TO BE SURE THE REPAIR WAS SAFELY DONE. THERE ARE REPORTS OF ENGINE FIRES RELATED TO HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPES AND FUEL LEAKS.

INTERMITTENT ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION. HAPPENS ONLY AFTER THE "VEHICLE CHECK IN PROGRESS". CAR HAS STARTED TO RUN ROUGH BOTH WHILE ACCELERATING AND AT A STOP. ACTS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. HAVING TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PAT THE GAS TO KEEP IT RUNNING. THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NO ACTIVE RECALL. CONSTANT RUN AROUND AT THE SERVICE CENTERS. THEY SAY ITS NORMAL FOR IT TO RUN ROUGH. ALSO THE RUBBER STEERING COUPLER WENT BAD. WAS MAKING A THUD NOISE WHEN STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. ALSO A TSB FOR THIS....NO RECALL. BUT WAIT THERES MORE! THE CLOCK SPRING IS ALSO BAD! TSB FOR THIS TOO! BAD CLOCK SPRING RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I REPLACED THE STEERING COUPLING, I FORGOT TO PLUG IN A WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE WHEEL AND THE BUTTONS STARTED WORKING AGAIN BUT HAD NO POWER STEERING. PLUGGED THE HARNESS BACK IN AND HAD STEERING BUT THE BUTTONS NO LONGER WORKED. PRETTY SURE HYUNDAI IS UPLOADING ERROR CODES AND GIVING PEOPLE THE RUN AROUND IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MORE MONEY. RECALL THIS CRAP ALREADY BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. HOLD THIS COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING CRAP TO PEOPLE.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 NOTICE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE AND COMING HOME FROM A DRIVE THE VEHICLE DIED IN FRONT OF HOUSE. TOOK TO HYUNDAI VACAVILLE AND THEY STATED IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. UPDATE APPLIED, DROVE HOME AND NOTICED TICKING FROM ENGINE. DROVE TO WORK AND NOTICED LOWER GAS MILEAGE AND CONTINUED TICKING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THIS TIME IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS AND TO PUT IN CLEANER. DROVE HOME AND THEN TO WORK AND NOTICED TICKING GETTING LOUDER. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER AND THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET WITH A RE MANUFACTURED FACTORY ENGINE WHICH WAS INSTALLED AROUND 12/23/2016. SINCE THEN STILL NOTICE A TICKING WITH NEW ENGINE AFTER PUTTING ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT AND CONCERNED THAT I WAS PROVIDED WITH A BAD ENGINE AGAIN. I KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE AS I DID WITH THE FIRST ENGINE WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES INSTEAD OF THE THE RECOMMENDED 7,500. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS OF MODEL YEAR 2013 WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE FAILURE WITH THE FIRST ENGINE WAS AT 127, 565 WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD STILL NOT HAVE HAPPENED AS I HAVE A 2010 ACCENT WITH 180,000 AND NO PROBLEMS, AND HAD SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES THAT WENT BEYOND 200,000 WITH NO ISSUES. I NOTICED THE TICKING NOISE BACK THEN TO BE PRONOUNCED WHEN ACCELERATING UP HILL AND WITH CURRENT ENGINE USUALLY HAVE TO WARM IT UP SO THAT WHEN I DRIVE I DO NOT HEAR ANY TICKING.
