December 5, 2024 Bojan Popic

Fountain Valley, CA – December 5, 2024 – Hyundai  (OTCMKTS:HYMTF), which owns the Genesis brand, is recalling 145,235 electric vehicles (EVs) that may stall while driving. This ups the risk of a crash and injury, especially in fast-moving traffic. 

This is an expansion of a similar recall from April 2024. Vehicles that were repaired previously will need a new remedy.

The following models are affected: 

  • 2022 – 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 
  • 2023 – 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6
  • 2023 – 2025 Genesis GV60
  • 2023 – 2025 Genesis GV70
  • 2023 – 2024 Genesis G80

Recall summary  

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) is a computer that charges both the vehicle’s battery and the 12-volt battery.

In the affected models, an ICCU fuse may blow because of an overload, which would cut off the power supply to the 12-volt system and consequently cause the vehicle to stall.

Recall risks

A vehicle that unexpectedly stops in the middle of the road can get hit by other motorists.

Warning signs 

The vehicle may go into the “limp-home” mode” which would gradually limit its power output. In addition, the driver should notice “various [instances of] illumination of dashboard MIL” as well as other warning messages and chimes.

Background of the recall

Hyundai recalled some of these cars in April 2024, following a U.S. government investigation over dozens of complaints alleging loss of motive power, as reported.  However, after recalling the vehicles, the manufacturer started receiving reports of repaired vehicles experiencing the same issue, which led to the present recall.

Other Hyundai recalls

Genesis cars have seen multiple recalls this year related to stalls, as reported.

Hyundai is also subject of an ongoing U.S. government investigation about its vehicles catching fire.

The repair

Dealers will once again replace the fuse and update the ICCU software. This repair will be free of charge and drivers who have paid for their own repairs out of pocket will be reimbursed.

August 29, 2024 Bojan Popic

Fountain Valley, CA – August 29, 2024 – Hyundai (OTCMKTS:HYMTF) is recalling 49,719 SUVs whose airbags may inadvertently activate or fail to deploy. This would up the risk of injury in a crash. 

The recall comes on the back of several incidents and affects the following models:

  • 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe 
  • 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

Recall summary  

The airbags are connected to the car’s electrical system through a wiring harness that runs throughout the vehicle. Over time, due to a manufacturing issue, the harness may become damaged as it rubs against the second-row seats. This could cause an electrical short that would negatively affect the airbag’s operation.  

Recall risks

The occupants may get injured if the airbags fail to deploy in a crash. At the same time, airbags that inflate when not needed may also injure the car occupants and augment the risk of an accident.

Warning signs

A red airbag warning light will be illuminated on the dashboard if there is problem with this safety system.

Background of the recall

The recall comes on the heels of eight inadvertent airbag deployment incidents. No injuries or crashes have been reported. 

Other Hyundai Santa Fe recalls

In April 2024, Hyundai recalled over 18,000 Santa Fe SUVs due to limited rearview visibility, as reported.

Earlier this month, Santa Fe SUVs were involved in another recall due to the risk of a rollaway, also as reported.

The repair

Dealers will inspect the wiring and secure it to prevent excessive movement. If the harness is already damaged, it will be replaced.  All repairs will be free of charge. 

Owners should receive letters with more information on September 23, 2024.

Fountain Valley, CA – August 26, 2024 – Hyundai  (OTCMKTS:HYMTF) is recalling 12,612 2010-2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupes that may move when started, increasing the risk of a crash.

Only vehicles with manual transmission are affected by this recall. 

Recall summary  

To turn on the engine, the driver must press the clutch, which triggers a switch at the top of the clutch pedal. In the affected vehicles, the switch may break, allowing the vehicle to be started when the clutch is not depressed.

This would result in “unintended movement” upon startup if the vehicle is started in gear and the parking brake is not set.

Recall risks

The defect ups the risk of the car crashing into nearby objects or pedestrians, augmenting the risk of injury or property damage. In fact, the recall comes on the back of three accidents. No injuries have been reported.

Other Hyundai recalls

Earlier this month, Hyundai recalled Santa Fe SUVs over a transmission issue that would cause them to roll away, as reported.

In May 2024, Hyundai recalled over 31,000 Genesis cars that would stall due to a defective fuel pump, also as reported.

The recall comes on the heels of dozens of rollaway incidents.

Recall summary

The listed vehicles’ automatic transmission is controlled by a computer called the Transmission Control Unit (TCU). Due to a software error, the TCU may damage the transmission as well as the parking pawl, which is what locks the transmission in place when Park is engaged.

Recall risks

A vehicle with damaged Park gear may roll away if parked on an incline, potentially crashing into pedestrians or surrounding objects.  

Warning signs

The driver may have difficulty shifting gears or hear a grinding noise coming from the parking pawl.

Safety tips

Owners are advised to engage the emergency brake before leaving the vehicle.

Background of the recall

The recall comes on the back of 45 rollaway incidents. No crashes or injuries have been reported.

Other Hyundai recalls

Transmission glitches that could result in a vehicle rollaway were the cause of another Hyundai recall in April 2024, which affected luxurious Genesis GV70 SUVs. 

Around the same time, the Korean carmaker recalled 2024 Santa Fe SUVs over limited rearview visibility, as reported. 

The repair

The dealers will update the TCU software. In addition, they will inspect the transmission for any signs of damage and replace it if needed.  This repair will be free of charge.

Fountain Valley, CA – May 24, 2024 – Hyundai (OTCMKTS:HYMTF), which owns the Genesis brand, is recalling 31,440 cars and SUVs that may stall. This ups the risk of crash and injury, especially if it happens in fast-moving traffic. 

The recall is Hyundai’s fourth recall for the brand in the last couple of months. It also comes on the back on hundreds of stalling incidents and serves as an expansion of another recall conducted for the same issue last year.

The list of the affected models includes:

  • 2022 – 2023 Genesis G90
  • 2022 – 2023 Genesis GV70
  • 2022 – 2023 Genesis GV80

Recall summary

The affected vehicles’ fuel pump may jam and shut down due to excessive internal resistance caused by incorrectly manufactured moving parts. This would leave the engine without fuel supply and cause the car to stall.  

Recall risks

Stalling in fast-moving traffic can augment the risk of injury.

Background of the recall 

Hyundai conducted the original recall for the issue in September of last year. Subsequently, the manufacturer became aware of additional affected vehicles which led to the present recall.

Between July 2022 and February 2024, Hyundai received 463 reports of stalling “incidents.”  No injuries or crashes have been reported.

Other Hyundai Genesis recalls

Some of these vehicles may have been affected by a fire-related recall, which took place last month.

On a separate note, transmission issues that may result in a rollaway were the cause of another recent Genesis recall.    

Electric models are not immune to problems, either, with almost 100,000 Hyundai and Genesis EVs being affected by a recall, which was also caused by a risk of stalling.  

The repair

Dealers will replace the fuel pump free of charge.

Fountain Valley, CA – May 21, 2024 – Hyundai (OTCMKTS:HYMTF) is recalling 13,511 cars and SUVs that may stall, increasing the risk of a crash and injury, especially in high-speed traffic. 

The recall affects the following models: 

  • 2024 Hyundai Elantra
  • 2024 Hyundai Venue
  • 2024 Hyundai Kona

Recall summary

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is an emission control system that returns a portion of exhaust gases back into the engine to reduce emissions and increase engine efficiency.

Due to a supplier error, the system was “contaminated” during manufacturing. This could result in a short-circuit and cause the vehicle to stall.

Recall risks

Besides being difficult to maneuver, a stalled vehicle may get hit by other cars, especially in fast-moving traffic.  

Warning signs

EGR and engine issues could trigger the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on the dashboard. 

Other Hyundai recalls

Stalling was the cause of another Hyundai recall which took place last month on the back of a U.S. government investigation, as reported.

Some of the models involved in that recall were affected by another recall due to the risk of rollaway, also as reported.

Hyundai has also been long plagued by fire-related recalls. In fact, the 2024 Hyundai Kona – which is part of the present recall – was among the cars recalled in January because of the possibility of catching fire following a crash.

The repair

Dealers will replace the EGR valve assembly free of charge. 

The notifications to the owners will be sent on June 28, 2024.
