Hyundai is recalling 207,000 units of the Sonata due to a fuel leak, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This follows a similar recall issued by its sibling company, Kia, for the Optima sedan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In initial documents filed on February 28, Hyundai stated the recall affects 206,896 Sonatas from the 2013 and 2014 model years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the automaker, the problem is caused by a low-pressure fuel hose that could crack and begin to leak fuel. And when the fuel becomes exposed near combustion, it increases the risk of a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$\"Hyundai$

Hyundai said it will notify owners of affected vehicles by mail starting April 24. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hyundai, however, clarified that there have been no reports of fires that may be related to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the problem develops in a Sonata, car owners may start noticing the smell of fuel. Otherwise, there are no other known identifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue is currently under investigation at the Hyundai headquarters and the company does not have a fix ready for affected customers. Based on the documents, Hyundai believes the fuel hose material may be susceptible to heat under certain conditions, but the company has not released a final conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Hyundai devises a possible fix to the fuel leak problem, dealers will be instructed to do the repairs at no cost to car owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company said it will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles by mail starting April 24. Hyundai also did not give any indication the sedans are unsafe to drive.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
