2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 Hyundai Sonata has 8 recalls, the most serious involving engine seizure, an unintended gear shift, and fuel leaks that can lead to a fire. The engine seizure risk comes from premature bearing wear that can cause the engine to lock up without warning, raising the risk of a crash. On the transmission side, the shift cable can detach from the shift lever, meaning the gear shown on the selector may not match what the transmission is actually in, and the vehicle can roll or move in an unexpected direction. There are also two fuel system concerns: a low-pressure fuel hose can crack from engine heat and leak fuel, and separately, vehicles that were previously repaired under earlier engine recall campaigns may have a high-pressure fuel pipe that was damaged or misaligned during that work, which can also allow fuel to leak near ignition sources. On the safety restraint side, both front seatbelt linkages can detach from the anchor pretensioners in a crash, leaving occupants without proper restraint. A follow-on recall covers vehicles where a prior repair attempt did not fully resolve this issue. Some recalls only affect hybrid models, and one recall is specific to vehicles with prior engine repair history.
