Powertrain

Transport Canada recall 2024431 · manufacturer campaign R0266

25 July 2024

Transport Canada lists: Genesis 2010–2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the clutch ignition lock switch could fail. As a result, you may be able to start the vehicle when the clutch pedal is not depressed. This could cause the vehicle to move suddenly. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the clutch ignition lock switch.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, brake fluid could leak into the control module for the antilock brake system (ABS) and cause it to short circuit. Note: This recall replaces recall R0246 (Transport Canada recall number 2023-527). For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid model is affected by this recall.

Why it matters

A short circuit could create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuse for the ABS module. Hyundai recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

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.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2016508 · manufacturer campaign R0122 (61C071)

17 October 2016

Transport Canada lists: Genesis 2010–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, objects or debris located under the front passenger seat could contact the electrical connector of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) and disconnect the connector if the seat is moved. This would disable the OCS and illuminate the instrument cluster Air Bag warning lamp. If the OCS is disabled, the first stage front passenger airbag would deploy in a frontal collision, regardless of the weight and size of the front passenger seat occupant. If the seat were to be occupied by a child seat or small statured occupant, it could increase the risk of injury. Additionally, this condition could cause the second stage of the frontal passenger airbag to fail to deploy during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from being disconnected.

Transport Canada recall 2016112 · manufacturer campaign R0108 (61C015)

7 March 2016

Transport Canada lists: Equus 2012–2013 · Genesis 2012

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the cover seal of the windshield wiper motor could degrade over time. This could result in moisture ingress, which could lead to corrosion on the wiper motor’s circuit board. If the corrosion were to progress, the windshield wipers could function intermittently or become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor with a revised wiper motor.

Transport Canada recall 2013376 · manufacturer campaign R0083

30 October 2013

Transport Canada lists: Genesis 2009–2012

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, corrosion could occur in the brake system Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit. Over time, this could affect the control unit's operation, causing a low/soft brake pedal and reduced braking effectiveness. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will affect repairs.
