Hyundai in the affected vehicles, metallic debris may not have been fully removed during manufacturing of the engine crankshaft.
The short version
Hyundai Motor America reported a problem with the engine. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, metallic debris may not have been fully removed during manufacturing of the engine crankshaft. If the debris was not completely removed, oil flow may be restricted through the connecting rod bearings, causing connecting rod damage.
Engine failure would result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the engine assembly, as necessary, free of charge.
