NHTSA recall 20V746000
Engine · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: The connecting rod bearings inside the engine may wear prematurely, which over time can result in engine damage.
Why it matters: A damaged engine can increase the risk of a fire or it can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the engine. If bearing damage is found, the engine will be replaced. Dealers will also install a software update containing a new knock sensor detection system (ksds). Repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 31, 2021.
