I had the bracket replaced and the canister inspected. They told me everything was good on the canister.
Prior to the recall I had a check engine light for an EVAP leak and just cleared it to see if it would come back. About a week after the bracket replacement it did come back. After some research it was pointing towards an issue with the evap canister. I took it back to the dealer and sure enough there was a crack in the canister. Replaced under warranty. Long story short, I would recommend having them take an extra close look at the canister.
Anyone has a link to the recall itself? I am wondering if it is this limited to certain MYs, and/or how they define "northern". Mine was bought in Va, which is not exactly northern, but we get a lot of salt in the winter. I got no letter, my VIN brings up no open recalls on either Hyundai or NHTSA recall site.
I received the same recall notice two days ago. It was from Hyundai Canada as I am in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
It is for the evap emission canister. Talk about timing.. .as I am (sadly!!!) returning my Veloster tomorrow (lease) and leaving the Hyundai family (argh!!) after 25 years. (picking up a new Honda Civic hatch).
I got my letter last week and have had a purge valve CEL. I haven't had the work done yet. Does anyone know if this will fix this issue? My car is no longer under warranty as I have over 100,000km.
Same thing happened to me. Went in twice for the recall, first time bracket changed. Day after my chk engine light came on for P0442 as a small leak in the evap sys. Went back again and they found a crack in the canister and replaced that as well.
I never got a recall notice. Brought mine in for 30k maintenance and was informed of the recall.
Mine is cracked and they ordered the part to replace it. I'm a little annoyed I was never sent a letter.
You can always go the Hyundai website and search your VIN for any recalls or service bulletins. Don't count on snail mail alone.
Edit: this was a recall in Canada and maybe in certain parts of the U.S. As for me, it is just an "extended warranty notification". But, yes, even that came to me via snail mail.
