Hyundai Australia has recalled thousands of vehicles due to a fault that could see models lose power.
The 4,871 vehicles being recalled are the i30 Sedan N, Kona N and G70 sedan produced between 2020 and 2023.
Hyundai’s luxury sub-brand Genesis has also been impacted, with 216 of its G70 sedans, built between 2017 and 2023, included in the recall.
‘Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel control valve in the high-pressure fuel pump could allow excess fuel to enter the pump,’ the recall notice reads.
‘If this occurs, the engine could stall resulting in a sudden loss of motive power whilst driving.
‘A sudden loss of motive power whilst driving increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.’
Owners are being urged to check their Vin number via the Australian government’s vehicle recall regulator website.
Those with an affected i30 Sedan, Kona N or G70 sedan will be contacted by Hyundai and Genesis in writing to schedule an appointment to have their fuel pump inspected.
If required, the fuel pump will be replaced free of charge.
For more information, you can call Hyundai’s customer care hotline on 1800 186 306.
