Hyundai Elantra, Kona and Venue can lose engine power

NHTSA campaign 24V308000 · Reported 2024-05-01 · Hyundai Motor America

high How serious is it? About this label

A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

Your engine has a part called the EGR valve, which routes some exhaust back through the engine. On these vehicles, the wiring inside that valve can short out. If that happens, the engine can lose power, so the car may slow down or stop moving even while you are pressing the gas pedal. That could happen anywhere, including in traffic or on the highway. The dealer replaces the entire valve assembly at no cost to you.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Call your Hyundai dealer, or Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 (recall 260), to book the repair.
3. Have the EGR valve assembly replaced — the repair is free.
