Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2014 Sonata and 2013-2014 Santa Fe Sport vehicles previously repaired under recall numbers 15V-568 and 17V-226. The high pressure fuel pipe that connects to the fuel pump outlet may have been damaged, misaligned, or improperly torqued during the engine replacement procedure, allowing fuel to leak from the pipe.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pipe, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 1, 2019. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's recall number for this recall is 180.

Seat belts, pretensionerFeb 27, 2018
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2013 Sonata and 2011-2012 Sonata Hybrid vehicles. On February 27, 2018, Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) notified NHTSA that they were recalling 154,753 model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. On April 18, 2018, Hyundai expanded the recall to include an additional 425,305 model year 2012-2013 Sonata and 2011-2012 Sonata Hybrid vehicles. In the event of a crash, the air bag control unit (ACU) may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying.
If the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will install an external wire filter kit, free of charge. The recall began October 15, 2018. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 174.

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will again verify the connection between the seat belt linkage and the pretensioner and additionally install a warning label to prevent future seat belt linkage detachment, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 169.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchNov 16, 2015
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model 2011-2012 Sonata vehicles. 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 rearward 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 began on January 6, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 136.

EngineSep 10, 2015
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Sonata vehicles manufactured December 11, 2009, to April 12, 2012 at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama and equipped with either a 2.0 liter or 2.4 liter Gasoline Direct injection engine. In the affected vehicles, metallic debris may not have been fully removed during manufacturing of the engine crankshaft. If the debris was not completely removed, oil flow may be restricted through the connecting rod bearings, causing connecting rod damage. A worn connecting rod bearing will produce a metallic, cyclic knocking noise from the engine and possible engine failure.
Engine failure would result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the engine assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Additionally, Hyundai Motor America will increase the warranty for the engine sub-assembly (short block) to 10 years/120,000 miles for both original and subsequent owners of 2011 and 2012 Sonatas manufactured at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama equipped with 2.0 liter and 2.4 liter Gasoline Direct injection engines. Interim notifications were mailed to owners starting on October 8, 2015. A second notification will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059 or by visiting www.HyundaiUSA.com/Campaign132. Hyundai's number for this recall is 132.

Power train, automatic transmissionJul 18, 2014
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Sonata vehicles manufactured December 11, 2009, through May 29, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from from the shift lever pin.
If the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver parks the vehicle, despite selecting the 'PARK' position, the transmission may not be in 'PARK.' If the vehicle is not in the 'PARK' position and the parking brake is not applied, there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, repair the connection between the shift cable and shift lever, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 123.

Air bags, side/windowJul 24, 2012
Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Hyundai Sonata passenger cars, manufactured from January 24, 2012, through June 21, 2012. The curtain side airbags on these vehicles may inflate without deployment command due to an error during manufacturing.
The curtain airbag may inflate without deployment command and increase the risk of injury to occupants of the vehicle. Additionally, an unexpected deployment would be a significant driver distraction and would limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai dealers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the curtain side airbags free of charge. This recall began on August 31, 2012. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 7, 2020
HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS CONSISTENTLY BURN OUT, REAR TAIL LAMPS CAUSED MELTING OF THE ASSEMBLY ON BOTH SIDES NEAR WHERE THE SOCKET GOES. RECTIFIED REAR LAMP ISSUE USING LOWER WATTAGE LEDS, NOT A SOLUTION FOR THIS BUT A BAND AID. CAR AUTOMATIC LOCKS HAVE CEASED WORKING, FAN ASSEMBLY CUT ON AND OFF CAUSING FAILURE OF RADIATOR. BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL ACTIVATE WRONG SETTINGS OFTEN WHEN USED. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP STOPPED FUNCTIONING, ONLY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINS. ALL PROBLEMS LISTED HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY EITHER MOVING OR STATIONARY.
Exterior lighting, Sep 29, 2020
AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING IF YOU USE THE TURN SIGNALS ALL LIGHTS GO OFF INSIDE AND OUT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHILE THERE. THIS IS A HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE A COLLISON AT NIGHT. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI. THERE SEEMS TO BE TOO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS AND IT SHULD BE LOOKED INTO.

WE ARE REPLACING BRAKE LIGHTS EVERY OTHER MONTH. THE MODULE THAT HOLDS THE BULB IS MELTING. SEEMS LIKE THIS WOULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

HELLO. I AM REACHING OUT REGARDING CONCERN AS TO THE MALFUNCTION OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS. I CURRENTLY OWN TWO 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES. THE LIGHTBULBS IN BOTH VEHICLES GO OUT WITHIN DAYS OF BEING REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED BY A HYUNDAI TECHNICIAN THAT THE CASING OF WHERE THE LIGHT BULBS IS INSERTED WAS "MELTED" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. IN MY RESEARCH OF THIS MALFUNCTION, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT A INDIVIDUALIZED ISSUE OR CONCERN THAT IS ISOLATED TO MY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION TO CAUSING A POTENTIAL RISK OF A ACCIDENT, I AM VERY CONCERNED REGARDING THE POTENTIAL OF A FIRE DUE TO THE "MELTING" OF THE CASING.

AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING IF YOU USE THE TURN SIGNALS OR TRY TO ADJUST YOUR LIGHTS FROM DIM TO BRIGHT AN ELECTRICAL FAULT IN THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH CAUSES ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE INSIDE AND OUT TO GO OUT LEAVING YOU DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS AT ALL. THIS CONDITION HAPPENED TO ME ON A CITY STREET RULE ROAD THE INTERSTATE IT DOESN'T MATTER IT HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR SITTING STILL IT'S JUST AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

I HAVE PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2014. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE GOING OUT MORE THAN THE NORM (FOR OTHER VEHICLES). I HAVE RECEIVED COUNTLESS OF TICKETS OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT THE 2012-2014 HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS HAVE YET TO GET RESOLVED/ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF MY POLICE FRIENDS AND OTHER CURRENT/FORMER HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE PULLED MANY PEOPLE OVER WITH THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL FOR BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS HAZARDOUS FOR NOT ONLY ME AND MY CHILD, BUT ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO SHARE THE ROAD WITH ME. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS THE LAST AND FINAL STRAW FOR ME. I WAS DRIVING WHEN ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT YET AGAIN. I WENT TO THE AUTOZONE TO ATTEMPT TO CHANGE MY LIGHT BULB JUST TO DISCOVER THAT THE ELECTRICAL MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE BULB IN PLACE IS BROKEN. IT APPEARED THAT THE LIGHT BULB WENT THROUGH A MILD BURST OF FLAMES. TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY AS A MOTHER, ON THE SAME SIDE AS MY CHILD SITS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I'M SURE THAT IF YOU CONDUCT YOUR OWN RESEARCH WITH POLICE ABOUT VEHICLES BEING PULLED OVER, YOU WILL SURELY SEE THAT THE NUMBER ONE REASON WAS BECAUSE OF A BROKEN BRAKE LIGHT. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE SOON. *TR

IN JULY 2019 I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOBODY IN THE CAR AT THAT TIME. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS THE BRAKE LIGHT WERE TUNING ON EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. IN THE SAME TIME THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL STARTED TO TAKE OVER AND IT REFUSED TO ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK WAS TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN PRESS IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE IT WAS BEHAVING VERY STRANGE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS A RUBBER STOPPER THAT KEPT THE BREAK PEDAL IN PLACE. WHEN IT IS WORN, IT BEHAVES AS IF SOMEBODY TRIED TO HIT THE BREAK. AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS RECALL 136 THE ACCURATELY DESCRIBES MY PROBLEM FOR MY CAR MODEL. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL BUT I GOT NO RESPONSE.

WE OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THE BRAKE-TAIL LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. ONE TAIL LIGHT WE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THE HOLE THAT THE BULB GOES IN MELTED. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU DO THEY ALWAYS BURN OUT. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND I'M BEHIND A HYUNDAI SONATA OR ELANTRA AROUND THE 2012 MODEL THEY ALWAYS HAVE A TAIL LIGHT THAT DOES NOT WORK. I KNOW A FEW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. I EMAILED HYUNDAI ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEIR BASICALLY NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF YOU.

BENTLEY HYUANDAI DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD THE VEHICLE TOLD THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS ENTIRE CASING HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT MELTED. I JUST CHANGED THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BULBS A MONTH AGO AND THE NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT IS OUT AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THEREFORE I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AND NEITHER CAN THE OTHER DRIVERS SEE MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING INCIDENT. THIS SAFETY HAZARD IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I JUST HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT BENTLEY HYUNDAI AT THE END OF LAST MONTH AND NOW MY HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT AGAIN.
