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 Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2014 Sonata and 2011-2015 Sonata Hybrid vehicles previously repaired under recall campaign 17V-152. The seat belt linkages for both front seat belts may detach from the seat belt anchor pretensioners.
If the seat belt linkage detaches from the seat belt anchorage, it can not properly restrain the occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
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.

THE COMPLETE BRAKE LIGHT PANELS-"TAILLIGHTS" ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BACK OF THE CAR (2012 SONATA) - IS COMPLETELY OUT. (BACK DRIVER AND PASSENGER TAILLIGHT PANELS) ALL THE WIRING THAT CARRYS ELECTRICIAL TO THE BACK TAILLIGHTS ARE MELTED / COMPLETELY WORPED / FUSED TOGETHER AND BLOWN OUT. ALL THE BURNT WIRING HAS DISFIGURED AND MELTED THE INSIDE OF THE TAIL LIGHT PANELS (IN THE TRUNK) SO THE BULBS OR WIRES CAN NOT BE REPLACED AND FUNCTIONABLE. FYI: IT CARRYS THE SMELL OF THE BURNT WIRING AND PLASTIC. MY 2012 SONATA HAS "NO ELECTRICIAL WIRES" THAT ARE FUNCTIONABLE TO CONNECT THE TAIL LIGHTS ON EITHER SIDE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO FIX THE BULBS AND CONNECTION 2 TIMES BUT NOTHING WORKS- IT CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT & MELT...THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED THE "TAIL LIGHTS, ALL WIRING TO THE TAILLIGHTS, FUSES AND ANYTHING THAT IS CONNECTED WITH THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE TAIL LIGHTS." THIS WILL CATCH FIRE IN THE TRUNK OR WORSE!

AFTER HAVING EVERY RECALL IMAGINABLE INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF MY ENGINE RECENTLY AFTER IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN ONE OF THE BUSIEST HIGHWAYS IN LAS VEGAS, I AM STUNNED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE BRAKES HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. MY STEERING COLUMN IS CLICKING AND MAKING NOISES THAT HAVE INCREASED IN THE VOLUME OF THE SOUND AND IT DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME I TURN THE WHEEL. I SEE OTHERS HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS FAIL IN THEIR 2012 SONATAS ENTIRELY AND PREVIOUS YEARS OF MY EXACT VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I DRIVE A THREE YEAR OLD AROUND FREQUENTLY AND I AM AFRAID THAT SOON MY COLUMN WILL COMPLETELY DETACH ITSELF AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I SEE OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED OUT OF POCKET AT LOW MILEAGE AS WELL. CLEARLY WE CANNOT ALL BE MISUSING OUR VEHICLES. PREVIOUS SONATA MODELS HAVE ALSO HAD THE EXACT SAME SAFETY RECALLS FOR THESE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE SEEING NOW IN THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND STILL THEY CHOOSE TO DENY IT IS THEIR FAULT. MY MILES AREN'T EVEN 70,000 YET. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED MY LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHT 4 TIMES NOW, HOW MANY MORE TIMES WILL I HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE I AM HIT BY SOMEONE OR BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE'S BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL AND THEY END UP IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD BE FATAL? I HAVE ALREADY BEEN PULLED OVER FOR HAVING A TAIL LIGHT OUT THAT I HAD JUST REPLACED A WEEK PRIOR. THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL SHOULD JUST BE RECALLED AND SCRAPPED ENTIRELY AND OWNERS GIVEN THEIR MONEY BACK. I HAD A SEATBELT RECALL THAT WAS THEN LATER ON RECALLED AGAIN!! I MEAN COME ON HYUNDAI!
