What is wrong

Hyundai is conducting a special service campaign that provides anti-corrosion treatment to certain underbody components. Over time, components under the vehicle, including brake lines could corrode. If this happens, a brake line could fail and leak. A brake fluid leak can result in reduced braking.

Why it matters

Reduced braking can cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the underbody, including the brake lines. The dealer will apply an anti-corrosion treatment to certain parts, and replace the brake lines if necessary.

Engine

Transport Canada recall 2022244 · manufacturer campaign R0180 (11D021)

8 May 2022

Transport Canada lists: Elantra 2014–2020 · Sonata 2016–2019 · Tucson 2014–2021

What is wrong

Hyundai Auto Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. Note: This only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L Nu GDI engine. For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are affected by this campaign. This is an expansion of R0180 (Transport Canada #2021-575). Any vehicle that received a software update under campaign R0180 does not require this update.

Why it matters

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of an accident. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. Note: Hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the Owner's Manual. If you experience unusual engine noise, reduced power, or a check engine/oil warning light, Hyundai advises you to immediately visit a Hyundai dealership to have your vehicle diagnosed.

Steering

Transport Canada recall 2017193 · manufacturer campaign R0129 (71C021)

4 April 2017

Transport Canada lists: Elantra 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a connection at the electric power steering (EPS) motor may have been damaged at time of assembly. This could lead to a loss of the steering assist. A loss of power steering assist could unexpectedly increase steering effort which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the EPS motor.

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2017055 · manufacturer campaign R0125 (71CA04)

7 February 2017

Transport Canada lists: Elantra 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the diaphragm in brake booster may unseat due to a manufacturing defect. This could result in a vacuum leak in the brake system and a reduction or loss in power brake assist, which would increase pedal effort, and extend stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the vehicle brake system’s booster assembly.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a manufacturing error could cause the second stage of the driver’s frontal airbag to fail to deploy. This would increase the risk of injury to the driver in a crash severe enough to warrant the deployment of the airbag`s second stage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the driver’s frontal airbag module.
