Hyundai SUVs and sedans: oil pump controller can overheat

NHTSA campaign 23V526000 · Reported 2023-07-27 · Hyundai Motor America

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious fire risk — park the vehicle outdoors and away from buildings until a dealer has inspected and, if needed, replaced the part.

⚠ Park outside, away from buildings — fire risk. See all such recalls.

What's wrong, in plain English

These cars have a system that shuts the engine off at stoplights to save fuel. The electronic controller for that system's oil pump may have damaged parts inside, and it can overheat. An overheating pump unit can start a fire in the car. Hyundai says park outside and away from buildings until the repair is done. Dealers check the oil pump controller and replace it if needed, at no charge to you.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your Hyundai is included.
2. Park outside and away from structures until it is repaired.
3. Call your Hyundai dealer or Hyundai at 1-855-371-9460 (recall 246) to book the free inspection and replacement.
