Toronto/CMEDIA: Approximately 5,616 vehicles in Canada are reportedly being recalled by Hyundai owing to a faulty check valve in the purge control system, which increases the risk of fuel leak and causing a fire.
“On certain vehicles, the check valve for the purge control system could wear and cause the fuel tank to expand,” the notice states. “As a result, the fuel tank could contact hot components and fuel could leak.”
Included in the impacted vehicles are the 2020–23 Hyundai Sonata and only certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6 L turbocharged engine.
This recall replaces recall no. 2025637 (Hyundai recall no. C0566), and vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.
Hyundai will notify and advise owners by mail to take the affected vehicle to a dealership, said the recall notice, to have the check valve inspected and potentially replaced, and to update the electronic control unit (ECU) software.
The fuel tank and surrounding components would also be inspected by the dealer, who will repair them if necessary.
Hyundai has also recalled almost 44,000 vehicles in Canada in the last two months, for faulty seatbelts and more than 13,000 vehicles for a faulty terminal cover on the starter motor of certain vehicles.
