According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (‘NHTSA’), Hyundai Motor America is recalling nearly 67,000 vehicles in the U.S. over loss of drive power from a fuel pump failure and about 12,349 Santa Fe Vehicles over a software error in the transmission control unit. The recall impacts certain 2019-2023 models of Genesis G70, Veloster N, Elantra N, and Kona N.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed out by Sept. 9, 2024; the agency’s recall notice states that to remedy the issue, Hyundai dealers will install an updated fuel control valve (FCV) plunger design and revised engine ECM software logic.

According to NHTSA recall documents, premature 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.” Indications that there might be an issue include, “MIL illumination, lack of power, rough idle or misfire.”

Hyundai said in a statement to ABC News on Thursday that “to ensure the safety of its customers, Hyundai Motor North America and Genesis Motor North America has filed recall campaign 262/023G to address a condition involving the high-pressure fuel pump assemblies in certain Hyundai and Genesis vehicles produced for sale in the U.S. and Canada … There are no confirmed crashes or injuries related to this condition in the U.S. or Canada.”

To see if any recalls were issued on your vehicle, search NHTSA’s database for new recalls. The NHTSA website allows you to search for recalls based on your vehicle identification number or VIN.
