Keep Your Vehicle Road Safe - See If You're Affected by This Hyundai Tucson Engine Recall

As drivers, we understand that cars can be dangerous. That's why we regulate who can drive a car and what can be operated on the road without endangering the driver and passengers or the occupants of other vehicles. Unfortunately, even with regular inspections and safety protocols, some problems are not discovered until after the car has made it to market, resulting in a recall of the vehicle. See If You're Affected by This Hyundai Tucson Engine Recall and DoNotPay can help you get it repaired.

Who the Hyundai Tucson Engine Recall Affects

The engine recall is limited to the 2017 model. It is estimated that over 80,000 vehicles are affected. Owners should be notified via mail starting November 12th, 2021. You can contact Hyundai's customer service directly at 855-371-9460 to learn more.

Why the Hyundai Tucson Engine Is Being Recalled

The vehicles are being recalled because the rod bearings in the engine of the 2017 Tucson engine may experience premature wear and tear. This may lead to the engine stalling, which could contribute to an accident. Kelley Blue Book says that in one of the worst-case scenarios, "a damaged connecting rod can puncture the engine block and cause the engine to leak oil onto hot components, leading to a fire".

Hyundai is aware of 45 fires that have resulted from this issue so far. No crashes have been linked to this recall to date. If you are driving an affected vehicle, you may notice some symptoms of the problem, including

• A burning smell, oil leaking, or smoke
• Check Engine light
• Low Oil Pressure light
• A knocking noise from the engine
• Reduced engine power or a delayed response

When you take your vehicle to the dealer, the engine will be inspected for damage. Your engine may need to be completely replaced. The dealer will also install a software update containing a new Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS). All recall repairs will be done for free.
