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.

Transport Canada recall 2020648 · manufacturer campaign R0173 (01D072)

30 December 2020

Transport Canada lists: Tucson 2016–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a problem in the control module for the antilock brake system (ABS) could cause it to short circuit. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2020-431. This recall does not affect vehicles equipped with Smart Cruise Control(SCC).

Why it matters

A short circuit could create a fire risk.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to revise the ABS fuse wiring and update the ABS control module, if necessary. Hyundai recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.
