2008 Hyundai Elantra recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Hyundai is recalling 65,000 my 2008 Elantra vehicles with 2.0 liter beta engines. The fuel pump motor may not have the proper uniform internal electrical surface contact. This may cause the fuel pump to produce less pumping pressure than required to supply the fuel injection system.
💥 The risk
Poor engine starting and hesitation may result. Other engine performance issues may also result increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel pump subassembly free of charge. The recall began on september 15, 2008. Owners may contact hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
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.)
