{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2020592","date":"2020-12-02","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Engine","summary":"Issue:\nOn certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6 L GDI, 2.0 L GDI, or 2.4 L MPI engine, the connecting rod bearings could wear prematurely. As a result, there could be an abnormal knocking noise from the engine and/or the oil pressure warning light may turn on. If you continue to drive the vehicle with worn connecting rod bearings, the engine could fail. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. In some cases, a damaged connecting rod could puncture the engine block and cause an oil leak.\nNote: For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are affected by this recall.\nAdditional Note: Engine compartment fires can happen for many different reasons. In some cases, there is too much damage to find the cause of a fire.\n\nSafety Risk:\nA sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Oil that leaks onto a hot component could cause a fire.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nHyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer for an engine inspection test, to determine if there is bearing damage. If damage is found, the engine will be replaced. Dealers will also update the software for the engine control module.\nNote: Hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the Owner's Manual.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"R0177","part_number":null,"units":14549,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Moteur","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"Problème :\nSur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur de 1,6 L GDI, de 2,0 L GDI ou de 2,4 L MPI, les coussinets de bielle pourraient s'user prématurément. Par conséquent, le moteur pourrait émettre un bruit de détonation anormal et/ou le voyant de pression d'huile pourrait s'allumer. Si vous continuez de conduire le véhicule avec des coussinets de bielle usés, le moteur pourrait tomber en panne. Une panne de moteur provoquerait une perte soudaine de puissance avec incapacité de redémarrer. Dans certains cas, une bielle endommagée pourrait perforer le bloc moteur et causer une fuite d'huile.\nRemarque : Pour les modèles Sonata, seul le Sonata hybride et le Sonata hybride électrique rechargeable (PHEV) sont touchés par ce rappel.\nAutre remarque : Des feux dans le compartiment moteur peuvent se produire pour de nombreuses raisons différentes. Dans certains cas, les dommages sont trop importants pour que l'on puisse trouver la cause du feu.\n\nRisques pour la sécurité :\nUne perte soudaine de puissance motrice pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident. Une fuite d'huile sur un composant chaud pourrait provoquer un feu.\n\nMesures correctives :\nHyundai doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour un essai d'inspection du moteur, afin de déterminer s'il y a des dommages aux coussinets. Si des dommages sont constatés, le moteur sera remplacé. De plus, les concessionnaires mettront à jour le logiciel du module de commande du moteur.\nRemarque : Hyundai recommande de toujours suivre le calendrier d'entretien du véhicule, qui est imprimé dans le manuel du propriétaire."},"vehicles":[{"year":2012,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"SANTA FE","vehicle_id":"2012_hyundai_santa-fe","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2011,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"SONATA","vehicle_id":"2011_hyundai_sonata","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2012,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"SONATA","vehicle_id":"2012_hyundai_sonata","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2013,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"SONATA","vehicle_id":"2013_hyundai_sonata","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2016,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"SONATA","vehicle_id":"2016_hyundai_sonata","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2015,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"VELOSTER","vehicle_id":"2015_hyundai_veloster","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2016,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"VELOSTER","vehicle_id":"2016_hyundai_veloster","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2020592"}
