The Australian Government's vehicle recall service has issued two recalls for several thousand new Hyundai cars after a fault was found with the drivetrains of some of the brand’s new models.
The recalls were made after it was discovered the dual-clutch transmission in some new Hyundais built between 2020 and 2022 have a faulty fail-safe, which means the car may unexpectedly lose power.
The loss of power is substantial enough that Vehicle Recalls says there is risk of a crash, leading to significant risks for vehicle occupants and other road users.
The service has published a list of affected vehicles by VIN, though the models in question are broadly described in the alert as being made up of 7237 cars with model years between 2020 and 2022, while a separate alert was made to recall 1229 Hyundai i30 N models built between 2021 and 2022.
The affected cars included in the broader publication are some of the brand’s most popular, such as the i30, Kona, Santa Fe, and Sonata.
More specifically, the i30 Sedan, Kona N, and Sonata N-Line are at risk.
Concerned owners are encouraged to contact the Hyundai Customer Care Team on 1800 186 306, or go to their recall website.
