- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Palisade Tucson, 2023 Sonata, Elantra, and Kona vehicles. The electronic controller for the Idle Stop & Go oil pump assembly may contain damaged electrical components that can cause the pump controller to overheat.
- What it can cause
- An electric oil pump assembly that overheats increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will inspect and replace the electric oil pump controller, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed starting September 7, 2023. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 246.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 52,109 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the power train 9 times before this, most recently in October 2022 as 22V746000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,241 complaints with NHTSA, 126 of them before this campaign was filed. 102 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V034000 (air bags), 25V893000 (trailer hitches), 25V796000 (fuel system, gasoline), 25V607000 (seat belts).
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.
