Hyundai Sonata engine failure requiring replacement with new engine on Hyundai Sonata

Some Hyundai Sonata owners report experiencing engine failure, particularly in Model Year 2011 and 2012 vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter turbo and 2.4-liter gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, prompting a safety recall by Hyundai Motor America. This recall, which affects over one million vehicles, is due to a manufacturing issue that may lead to engine failure and, in some cases, engine fires. Additionally, Hyundai offers a free lifetime engine replacement warranty for affected models, and owners are encouraged to contact their local dealership to check eligibility and resolve any issues. Furthermore, some owners who lose confidence in their vehicle after receiving settlement notices may consider selling their Sonata to purchase a new Hyundai or Kia and could be eligible for a rebate claim.
