Hyundai Recalls Roughly 67,000 Vehicles Due To Safety Issues

Hyundai has issued two recalls impacting roughly 67,000 vehicles because of two separate issues.

The first recall affects an estimated 12,349 Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs from the 2024 model year. A software problem can cause the vehicle to roll away, even while in park. Until repairs can be made, owners are advised to use the emergency parking brake after parking their vehicles. 

The second, larger recall involves up to 54,647 models of Genesis G70, Veloster N, Elantra N, and Kona N vehicles from 2019-2023 due to loss of drive power from fuel pump failure.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), wearing of the fuel control valve in the high-pressure fuel pump "could allow excess fuel to enter the fuel pump and the air and fuel mixture can result in a reduction or loss of motive power at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash."

Recall documents report that signs of an issue include: "MIL illumination, lack of power, rough idle or misfire.”

To date, there are no confirmed crashes or injuries related to either condition.

All repairs will be made free of charge. Impacted owners of the involved vehicles will also be notified via letter starting September 9.
