How this campaign compares
At 922 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, other once before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V228000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the fuel system, other, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.

Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
