Recalls: Hyundai SX2 Kona
2023 Hyundai SX2 Kona 1.6 T-GDI: risk of vehicle fire
In April 2024, recall campaign 41D009 was issued for 2023 Hyundai SX2 Kona vehicles with 1.6 T-GDI engines. Due to a manufacturing defect, the bracket retaining the engine control unit (ECU) could interfere with the vehicle’s wiring if a collision occurred. This could cause a short circuit and vehicle fire, thereby increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and the risk of property damage. To fix, an authorised Hyundai dealer was to install a protective cover over the affected wiring. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005931.
2024 Hyundai SX2 Kona 2.0 MPI: EGR valve sensor could short circuit
In June 2024, recall campaign 41D066 was issued for 2024 Hyundai SX2 Kona 2.0 MPI vehicles. During manufacture, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve sensor may have been exposed to soldering flux contamination – this could cause a short circuit within the sensor, resulting in a loss of motive power whilst driving. A loss of motive power whilst driving could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, a Hyundai dealer was to inspect and replace the EGR valve sensor. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005978.
2025 Hyundai SX2 Kona: instrument panel software defect
In April 2026, recall campaign 61D052 was issued for 2025 Hyundai SX2 Kona vehicles. Due to a software issue, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) may fail to illuminate the vehicle speed, fuel level and other critical safety information. A loss of safety system warnings while driving could increase the risk of a collision, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, other road users, and bystanders. To fix, an authorised Hyundai dealer was to apply a software update. Alternatively, for vehicles equipped with BLUELINK, the update would be delivered automatically via Over-the-Air (OTA) technology. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006589.
