Issue: rnHyundai Auto Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. rnNote: This only affects Santa Fe models equipped with a 2.4 L MPI engine, and Veloster models with a 1.6 L GDI engine. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of an accident. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnHyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. rnNote: Hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the Owner's Manual. If you experience unusual engine noise, reduced power, or a check engine/oil warning light, Hyundai advises you to immediately visit a Hyundai dealership to have your vehicle diagnosed.
