2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster has 3 recalls, with two posing a fire risk: a moisture leak into the reverse parking sensor that can cause an electrical short, and engine software issues on turbocharged models that can lead to engine failure and fire. Both engine recalls affect only the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. In one, a software fault in the engine computer can cause engine damage or sudden failure, cutting power and leaving the vehicle unable to restart. The other involves software that allows fuel and air to ignite too early inside the cylinders, building excessive pressure that can damage the engine, stall the car, or raise the risk of fire. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the underlying engine software concerns, which is why two separate campaigns address them. On the electrical side, liquid can work its way into the reverse parking sensor and trigger a short circuit that may start a fire.
