Recall Announcement by the State Administration for Market Regulation

According to Hyundai’s statement, some vehicles within the above-mentioned recall scope may have early wear of connecting rod bearings and other engine damage. If the engine continues to run in this condition, it may stall or even cause a fire in the engine compartment, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, Hyundai has decided to recall and repair these vehicles. Hyundai will inspect the engine for recalled vehicles through authorized repair stations. If faults such as abnormal wear of the cylinder block assembly components are found, the cylinder block assembly will be replaced free of charge to eliminate safety hazards.

Last June, Hyundai also conducted a large-scale recall in China. At that time, the recalled vehicles included the new Santa Fe and ix35 models, with a total of over 200,000 vehicles. The reason for the recall was also related to the engine. Some vehicles within the recall scope may have a short circuit in the hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) of the brake system, which may cause a fire in extreme cases, posing a safety hazard.
