2008 Hyundai Elantra Recalled
aug. 28.08
source: Leftlanenews
Hyundai is recalling 65,000 Elantra sedans to replace a fuel pump that the automaker says could lose pressure and reduce engine performance. The recall only affects 2008 Elantras equipped with the 2.0 liter four-cylinder ââ¬ÅBetaââ¬Â engine, the only motor offered on the compact sedan in North America.
The fuel pump recall affects cars produced from November 2007 to June 2008. Hyundai says that they can lose their pumping pressure as ethanol produces a film buildup on the pumpââ¬â¢s electrical contacts, which leads to engine hesitation or difficulty starting the motor.
The recall is smaller than we initially expected it to be when news first broke last month.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

And it's far from the first time Hyundai has suffered from "reduced power" issues. At least this one isn't false advertising and can (likely) be corrected easily. :D :lol:
