One is for a high-pressure fuel pump, the other for software that can cause transmission damage
- A faulty fuel pump has triggered a recall for certain Hyundai Elantra, Kona, and Veloster models, and the Genesis G70
- The fuel pump recall only affects the performance “N” Hyundai models
- The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is recalled for software that could potentially damage the transmission
In the U.S., 54,647 vehicles are being recalled for the fuel pump, along with 12,349 Santa Fe SUVs for the software.
The high-pressure fuel pump could fail on these vehicles. If it does, the engine may run rough; the “check engine” light could come on; and it could cause a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Dealers will update the engine control module software, and if necessary, replace the fuel pump.
For all these vehicles under recall, owners will receive a notice from Hyundai in the mail. Dealers will perform the recall at no charge.
