Approximately 206,900 model-year 2013-14 Hyundai Sonata sedans are being recalled because the hose that connects the low-pressure fuel pump to the direct-injection fuel pump may crack over time due to heat generated within the engine compartment, allowing gasoline to leak and increasing the risk of a fire.
Hyundai will begin notifying owners on April 24. Owners can call the automaker at 855-371-9460 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
The remedy for this recall is still under development.
