Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 1.6 liter Turbo engines. The engine management software may cause premature ignition (pre-ignition) of the air/fuel mixture in the engine. The resulting excessive cylinder pressure may damage the engine.

Why it matters: Engine damage can increase the risk of a fire or cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will update the engine management software, free of charge. The recall began May 14, 2019.
