Hyundai Sonatas Recalled for Fuel Leak, Fire Risk
Hyundai is recalling about 207,000 Sonata sedans from the 2013-2014 model years due to concerns about a potential fuel leak and subsequent fire risk.
A fuel line may develop a small crack over time because of heat in the engine compartment,
according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
If the line leaks gasoline, there’s a risk of fire. Hyundai says drivers may be able to smell fuel if there’s a leak.
