Update

• The engine inspection procedure is currently being finalized and will include a new Engine Noise Inspection Tool (PN: G1XTD CP001).
• All dealers will receive an initial shipment of one (1) tool on Friday, June 9th, 2017.
• Sample tool image:

HMA is making preparations to implement the recall remedy.  Further communication and a Technical Service Bulletin will be provided when available.

 

Affected Vehicles

Hyundai Motor America is conducting a safety recall to inspect, and if necessary, replace the engine assembly in:

• All Model Year 2013 and 2014 Hyundai Sonata vehicles equipped with 2.0 liter and 2.4 liter gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines manufactured at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama
• Certain Model Year 2013 and 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport vehicles equipped with 2.0 liter and 2.4 liter gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines

 

Description

The engines in these vehicles may contain residual debris from factory machining operations, potentially restricting oil flow to the main bearings and leading to premature bearing wear.  Over time, a bearing may fail and the vehicle could lose power while in motion.  Indications of a worn connecting rod bearing include:

1. Knocking noise from the engine
2. Reduced power and/or hesitation
3. Illumination of the “Check Engine” warning lamp
4. Illumination of engine oil pressure warning lamp

 

Service Action

• The final inspection procedure is currently being developed. In the interim, if customers notice an abnormal knocking noise from their engine, they are encouraged to seek service at their local Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
• For customers or any used vehicles in dealer inventory that are currently experiencing an issue related to the engine:
• 2013-2014 Sonatas – Dealers should follow the existing Sonata Engine Warranty Extension TXX3 procedure described in Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) #16-01-SSS.
• 2013-2014 Santa Fe Sport – Dealers should follow the standard engine warranty process or contact Warranty Prior Approval (PA) for vehicles that are outside the engine warranty parameters.
• Customers currently experiencing engine issues should not continue to drive their vehicles.
• Customers should be placed in a Service Rental Car (SRC) while engine parts are ordered and repairs are performed.
• Used vehicles in dealer inventory that are currently experiencing an issue related to the engine should not be sold or test driven until repaired.
• For customers not experiencing an issue related to their engine:
• Customers should be advised that Hyundai is currently developing the remedy for the recall and Hyundai will notify all owners beginning in May, 2017. Customers can check Hyundai’s Recall 162 website for updates: hyundaiusa.com/campaign162
• Affected VINs are posted on WebDCS> Service Tab> Uncompleted Campaign VIN Listing –Retailed. Dealers may use owner information provided for the purpose of conducting and performing this recall campaign, and for no other purpose.
• Refer to the below Customer FAQ.

 

Customer Notification

Manufacturers are required to notify consumers of a recall on their vehicle within 60 days of filing a recall notice, even without a final repair procedure. Hyundai plans to notify all owners of the vehicles described above beginning in May, 2017.

Inspection Procedure:

1. The Inspection Procedure will consist of preparing the vehicle and then performing an inspection using the “Special Inspection” function of the GDS Mobile application.

 

• Obtain the latest GDS Mobile update daily. The GDS Mobile must be connected to the internet via WiFi daily to confirm the latest software update is installed or the application will not function.
• Connect the GDS VCI to vehicle DLC.
• VCI should be updated with latest version and paired with GDS Mobile.  Open the GDS Mobile App.
• Swipe up on the “More” tab at the bottom of the screen.
• Select the “Special Inspection” function.

2. Prior to inspection, the engine should be in a satisfactory running condition.
   • Engine oil level should be in the normal range (shown at right).
     • Use Quaker State 5W-30 conventional type engine oil to adjust the oil level if necessary.
   • Engine should idle normally.

 

If the engine is running poorly, follow any related diagnosis and repair prior to performing this inspection procedure.

 

3. Prepare the vehicle as follows before beginning the inspection:
   • All accessories off, including the audio system.
   • A/C must be off.
   • Engine coolant temperature above minimum temperature 85°C (185°F).
     • If the engine is cold, then warm the engine before testing.
   • Open the driver’s front window.

 

4. Prepare the vehicle and Engine Noise Inspection Tool as follows:
   1. Remove the oil level rod assy (engine oil dipstick).
   2. Check for interference between the dipstick tube and the intake manifold.

 

Adjust the dipstick tube to create clearance between the tube and manifold if necessary.

 

• Insert the adapter (A) into the oil level gauge tube (dipstick tube).
• Attach the clip (B) to the hood latch.
• Connect the stereo jack (C) to the GDS Mobile headphone jack.
• Feed the inspection tool through the open driver’s front window.

 

5. Follow the selection menus and on-screen prompts of the “Special Inspection” function to complete the Inspection Procedure.
   • Do not tap, pinch or kink the Engine Noise Inspection Tool during the test.

NOTICE

For quality assurance purposes, an audio file of the engine noise and the inspection results will be sent to HMA.

 

6. After the Inspection Procedure is complete, the application will display PASS, NOPASS, or RETEST.
   • This information will be sent to HMA when the GDS Mobile Tablet is connected to a WiFi network.

 

For PASS, NO PASS, or RETEST proceed to the appropriate Service Procedure in the following pages that correspond to the Inspection Results.

 

Inspection Result	Service Procedure
PASS	Page 8
NO PASS	Page 9
RETEST	Page 9

 

NOTICE

The GDS can store a maximum of 5 tests while the device is offline (disconnected from Wi-Fi). In order to perform further tests, connect the GDS to Wi-Fi and select the “Send All Pending” button to send the pending test results to HMA.

Service Procedure (Inspection Results = RETEST or NO PASS)

1. If the inspection results in RETEST or NO PASS, perform the following steps to remove any sources of interfering noise and then retest the vehicle.

 

• a) Is there any abnormal noise that’s intermittent or does not follow engine RPM?
  • If so, check for the source of the noise from other components such as the exhaust system, engine mounting points, lines and harnesses. Adjust as necessary.
• b) Is there any abnormal noise that could be from engine-driven accessories?
  • If necessary, remove the serpentine belt to isolate all belt-driven accessories to the engine assembly. Limit engine run time during any inspection.  Adjust as necessary.

 

NOTICE

After  completing steps a) and b) above to remove any sources of interfering noise, perform the Inspection Procedure again. If re -inspection results in a PASS:  o Perform Service Procedure for Inspection Results = PASS on Page 7. If re -inspection results in a RETEST: Perform Service Procedure for Inspection Results = RETEST or NO PASS again. If re -inspection results in a NO PASS: Follow the procedures in step c) below to request a Prior Authorization #.

 

• c) If the re-inspection still results in a NO PASS after retesting the vehicle:
  • Do not inform the customer that they will need a new engine until approved by Warranty Prior Approval (PA).
  • Do not order the engine until approved by Warranty Prior Approval (PA).
  • Immediately upload the test results for PA review.
  • If the tablet is not connected to a Wi-Fi network at the time of the test, the result will not be automatically uploaded. Please ensure test results are uploaded as inspections are performed to avoid any delay in PA review.
  • Go to the WebDCS PA Request screen. The PA request will be auto-created and saved. Edit the PA request if needed and submit to PA for review.
  • PA will review the audio file within 1 business day to ensure validity of the test.
  • If there are no anomalies in the audio files, the PA agent will approve the PA request and advise the dealer to proceed with the engine replacement.
  • If there are anomalies in the audio files, the PA agent will request for the test to be performed again and for the test results to be uploaded for review.
