2 recalls covering model years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Hyundai and Genesis vehicles, including the Veloster N, Genesis G70, Elantra N, and Kona N, may have a fuel pump that fails. If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle can lose engine power while being driven. Some owners were sent an early letter warning them about this safety risk before the full notice with the repair information went out.
These vehicles have a backup driving mode meant to keep the car moving if the transmission's oil pump fails. That backup mode may not work properly, and this can lead to a complete loss of drive power. Losing drive power while driving increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the transmission and replace it if needed, and will also update the transmission's computer software, all free of charge.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
