Recall Process

If you own one of the affected models, it is recommended to bring it to a Hyundai dealer or Genesis retailer for an engine software update. If the vehicle is also experiencing fuel pump issues, the pump will be replaced free of charge.

Conclusion

Hyundai and Genesis are taking proactive measures to address the fuel pump issue in their vehicles to ensure the safety and performance of their customers. Stay informed and take action if you own one of the impacted models.
