Transport Canada recalls

Fuel System#2025637November 18, 2025
5,616 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the check valve for the purge control system could wear and cause the fuel tank to expand. As a result, the fuel tank could contact hot components and fuel could leak. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6 L turbocharged engine. This safety recall replaces emissions recall no. ECR-H0003-24-005 (Hyundai recall no. C0566). Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the check valve and update the electronic control unit (ECU) software. The dealer will also inspect the fuel tank and surrounding components and repair them, as necessary.
Structure#2022143March 28, 2022
3,078 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a part in the trunk release latch could fail. If this happens, the emergency trunk release located inside the trunk compartment may not work properly. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it. Safety Risk: If a person is closed inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect trunk latch and, if necessary, replace the trunk latch base.
Other#2020156April 9, 2020
381 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, there could be an error in the software that controls the Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) feature. This error could cause the vehicle to continue to move in its last commanded direction, even if a system malfunction is detected. Safety Risk: A malfunction of the Remote Smart Parking Assist could increase the risk of a crash and injury to bystanders. Corrective Actions: Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the RSPA software.
