Hyundai has learned that 2,460 fuel pump failures occurred in the United States between May 10, 2019 and June 17, 2024, but there were no reports of crashes, injuries or fires.
If the fuel pump fails while driving, the driver will be unable to restart the vehicle.
According to Hyundai:
“Due to the gradual wear of the fuel control valve (FCV) plunger in the high-pressure fuel pump assembly of the vehicle involved, excessive fuel may enter the fuel pump.”
In July 2023, Hyundai is investigating reports from abroad of vehicles losing power, setting diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0088, and conditions leading to the replacement of the fuel pump.
Engineers collected 46 fuel pumps but were unable to reproduce the fuel pump failure. Finally, in April 2024, engineers successfully reproduced the fuel pump problem while testing Veloster vehicles.

More than 7,500 vehicles are being recalled in Canada.
The Hyundai fuel pump recall letter is expected to be mailed on September 9, 2024.
Hyundai dealers will update the engine control module software and replace the fuel pump if the warning light comes on.
