Defect

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Elantra, 2019-2021 Kona and Veloster vehicles equipped with 2.0L Nu MPI engines. The piston oil rings may not have been properly heat-treated, which could result in engine damage.

Consequence

A damaged engine may stall, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, oil may leak onto hot exhaust components, increasing the risk of a fire.

Corrective Action

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine, free of charge. In addition, Hyundai will deploy Piston Ring Noise Sensing System (PNSS) software. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 25, 2021. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Safety

NHTSA identifies two recall areas for certain 2019 Hyundai Veloster vehicles. An engine issue involving improperly heat-treated piston oil rings may cause engine damage, stalling, or oil leaking onto hot exhaust components, creating crash and fire risks. A door latch issue may allow the driver’s door to open during a side-impact crash, increasing the possibility of occupant ejection or injury. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check can show whether either remedy remains open, and an authorized dealer can complete applicable recall work at no charge.
