1999 HYUNDAI TIBURON Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1999 Hyundai Tiburon has 2 recalls, the more serious being a transmission fluid leak that causes internal clutch components to slip, potentially leading to loss of drive power on automatic transmission models. The leak originates at the pressure control solenoid valve and reduces the hydraulic pressure needed to keep the transmission's friction elements engaged. There is also a label recall: the tire pressure placard in the door jamb was misprinted with incorrect tire sizes, seating capacity, and luggage capacity, meaning owners following the placard could unknowingly overload the vehicle or run incorrect tire sizes, raising the risk of tire failure or a crash.

POWERTRAIN

Defect

On certain vehicles, the pressure control solenoid valve seals in the automatic transmission are not sufficiently elastic. This could result in automatic transmission fluid leakage at the pressure control solenoid valve interface to the valve body. This fluid leakage results in reduced pressure application to the internal transmission friction elements, which allows them to slip. Slippage of the friction elements can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and may cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not to accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

A new pressure control solenoid valve seal will be installed in the transmission.
