Issue: When repairs were completed under recall campaign 2015-428 (Hyundai #R0101) or 2017197 (Hyundai #R0130), the high pressure fuel pipe may not have been properly installed on the fuel pump outlet.

On certain vehicles, the cable between the actuating lever for the secondary hood latch and the secondary latch may become corroded over time. This could cause the secondary hood latch to remain in the open position when the hood is closed. If the vehicle were to be driven with the primary hood latch disengaged, or primary hood latch is released while driving, the secondary hood latch may not hold the hood closed while the vehicle is in motion. If this were to occur, it could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the secondary hood latch cable.
On certain vehicles, the bolt which fastens the driver’s seat belt anchor to the vehicle’s inner sill structure may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. This could result in the driver's seat belt possibly detaching from the anchor point. If the vehicle were to be involved in a collision, and the seat belt were to detach, it could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will verify the proper connection between the driver’s seat belt anchor and to the vehicle’s inner sill structure.
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The wiring to the switch within the driver seat belt buckle which monitors whether the seat belt is buckled or unbuckled could become damaged by the seat's height adjuster mechanism. This could result in no audible signal (chime) or indicator light if the buckle is not fastened, or the chime and indicator light staying on when the seat belt is buckled. A lack of audible signal (chime) or indicator light may increase the likelihood of the vehicle being operated with an unfastened seat belt, which would increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, reroute the harness to its proper location. Any harnesses with damage to the circuitry will be replaced.
