What is being recalled
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Sonata vehicles. The low pressure fuel hose that connects the low pressure fuel pump to the direct injection fuel pump may crack over time due to heat generated within the engine compartment.
Why it is dangerous
If the fuel line cracks, a fuel leak can occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
