2000 Hyundai Elantra & 2000 Hyundai Sonata recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: some Sonata vehicles equipped with 2.5 liter V-6 engines and all Elantra model vehicles may have experienced intermittent low-speed engine stalling, which could occur if the maf (mass air flow) sensor electrical signal is interrupted as a result of engine vibration transmitted to the maf sensor connector wiring harness.
💥 The risk
This condition CAN cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will re-route the maf sensor connector wiring harness.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
