Hyundai Motor America is recalling approximately 85,043 of its 2020-2023 Sonata vehicles due to a defect where a damaged check valve can allow air to enter the fuel tank. This can cause the tank to expand and touch hot exhaust parts, leading to the tank melting. Dealers will inspect and replace the check valve and fuel tank if needed, and update the engine control unit software at no cost to owners.
A melted fuel tank can leak gasoline near hot engine and exhaust components, which significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
Inspection and replacement of fuel system components and software update.
Hyundai internal recall number 286; NHTSA Campaign Number 25V796.
