Hyundai Recalls 215,171 2013-2014 Sonatas Due to Fuel Line Issue
If you own a 2013 or 2014 Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai invites you to make a quick trip to the shop. The company has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is issuing a recall on 215,171 2013 and 2014 Sonatas to address a fuel line issue.
According to Hyundai, the problem stems from heat in the engine compartment slowly causing deterioration of the low-pressure fuel lines that run between the primary fuel pump and the high-pressure direct injection pump that delivers fuel to the cylinders. This wear can cause the lines to crack, allowing fuel to leak. If it comes in contact with a hot enough surface, a fire can start. Hyundai says there have been no such cases reported to date.
The automaker added that "If the inspection revealed fuel feed line damage and/or fuel leakage, the fuel tube was replaced. If the fuel feed line did not show signs of damage and/or fuel leak, heat resistant tape was applied at the connection between the low pressure fuel tube and fuel pump.” A fuel leak was noted on a limited number of vehicles that received heat-resistant tape as a solution in the previous campaign.
