Plain-English summary
Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2013-2014 Sonata vehicles due to a defect in the low-pressure fuel hose. This hose connects the low-pressure fuel pump to the direct injection fuel pump and may crack over time due to heat generated within the engine compartment.
A cracked fuel hose may leak fuel, which can increase the risk of a fire. This recall replaces NHTSA recall number 20V-121. Vehicles previously repaired under the earlier recall that did not receive a replacement fuel hose will need to have this new recall remedy performed.
Dealers will replace the low-pressure fuel hose free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 10, 2022. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
