2007 Hyundai Santa FE recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain sport utility vehicles, the wall thickness of the right forward baffle of the fuel tank may be below specifications.
💥 The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the fuel tanks and, if necessary, replace them. All vehicles are either still at the manufacturing plant or in dealerships. No vehicles have been sold to consumers.
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.)
