Hyundai recalls 2021 Santa Fe over defective fuel pipe

Hyundai Australia is recalling 198 examples of its Santa Fe, fitted with the 3.5 MPi engine, due to a defective fuel supply pipe.

The Korean carmaker has issued a notice for the cars which were all made in 2021.

The fault, according to the Department for Infrastructure, relates to the fuel supply pipe attached to engines which may be defective, and could subsequently result in a fuel leak.

If this occurs, it can result in an engine fire, increasing the risk of an accident, serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.

Owners are advised to contact their nearest authorised Hyundai dealer to have their vehicle inspected and repaired, free of charge.
