Hyundai recalls 31,440 Genesis vehicles for fuel pump issue: Here's which cars are affected
Hyundai is recalling more than 30,000 Genesis vehicles due to a potentially deadly crash hazard with certain models, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports.
Federal safety regulators published the recall Tuesday after learning the fuel pump may fail, which can result in a loss of drive power.
A shutdown of the fuel pump can restrict fuel flow to the engine causing sudden reduction or loss of vehicle power, increasing the risk of a crash, federal safety regulators wrote.
