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.

In the event of a crash, if the seat belts detach from the anchor pretensioners, it can increase the risk of injury.

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 ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN 2018 ON OUR 2012 SONATA HYBRID UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO CONTAMINATION. MILEAGE WAS 82,,895. ON 5/9/2020 WHILE DRIVING HEARD LOUD KNOCKING/TAPPING NOISE (EXACTLY LIKE LAST TIME) ALONG WITH STRONG SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOISE CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER SO PULLED OVER AND HAD CAR TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALER IN PENSACOLA, FL. WE WERE TOLD THE ENGINE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND COST TO US WOULD BE APPOX. $5,500 FOR A USED ENGINE WITH 98,000 MILES ON IT. WE NOW HAVE 107,000 MILES WHICH IS APPOX. 24,000 ON THE NEW ENGINE. UPON INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THAT 470,000 2011 & 2012 SONATAS WERE RECALLED ON SEPT. 2, 2015 AFTER NHTSA RAISED THE ISSUE OF ENGINE NOISE AND PROBLEMS. IT REPLACED ENGINES AND INCREASED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YRS OR 120,000 MILES. IN JANUARY 2019 100,000 OF THESE SAME ENGINES WERE RECALLED AGAIN DUE TO DAMAGED FUEL LINES CAUSED WHEN THE ENGINES WERE REPLACED DURING PREVIOUS RECALLS. HYUNDAI HAS DECLINED OUR REQUEST FOR THIS TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THIS IS A HYBRID. OTHER SONATA HYBRID OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE FAITHFULLY TAKE OUR CAR TO THE DEALER FOR ANY PROBLEMS AND OIL CHANGES AND HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION IF NEEDED. WE WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE US. THANK YOU.

ABOUT 2+ MONTHS AGO, I HAD MY CAR SERVICED FOR BRAKES, OIL CHANGE, AND FILTERS. WITHIN A DAY OR TWO I NOTICED A CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD NEAR THE AIRBAG PASSENGER UNIT. THINKING IT WAS FLORIDA HEAT RELATED, I PAID IT NO ATTENTION. DURING THIS COVID PANDEMIC I NOW SEE THAT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NOTATION ON THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AS WELL, AND THE LAST TIME MY HUSBAND AND I RAN AN ERRAND, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT ON. NOW I'M AFRAID TO USE THE CAR TO ANY EXTENT EXCEPT AROUND TOWN FOR SHORT ERRANDS AND WAS WONDERING WHAT I SHOULD DO. THE RECALL NUMBER 174 SHOWS NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE...HOWEVER....ALL RECEIPTS I HAVE SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE DO NOT SHOW IT HAVING BEEN REPAIRED. I SEE THAT THE INITIAL REPORT OF THE RECALL (NOT REMEDY) WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE SEAT BELT ISSUE, HOWEVER, THE REMEDY NOTICE IS THE ONE I HAVE NO RECORD OF HAVING BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED OTHER WORK BE DONE ON THE VEHICLE EACH TIME I'VE BROUGHT IT IN FOR A RECALL ITEM (??)! *TR
