I've owned two 2.4 Hyundai and one Kia. Never an issue. The highest mileage reached with that engine was 118k. Congrats to her on her new ride.
First Hyundai said it was caused by left over metal shavings from machining at the factory. Since then, even with updated engines the problem continues. Now I guess they are saying it's caused by excess engine knock and the original knock sensor not detecting it, causing damage.I’ve heard about the blown engine but could not find any details or recalls regarding this engine. What exactly goes wrong?
Actually a few techs have reported that there has been a very recent internal change in their policy. If the campaign was not completed before a certain date and an engine failure occurs, there will not be coverage.No its not voided. Just take it in and tell the dealer you need the knock detection software update. That will give you a lifetime engine warranty. You can go onto the Hyundai website, put your VIN in and see what recalls or TSB are still pending
Of course have your mechanic check it out. I have a '10 Sonata with the 2.4 engine I purchased new, on top of maintenance, began using Mobile 1 w Pur upgrade filter years ago. 329k later I just had to replace fuel filter. Good drive train!Daughter just purchased a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe sport with a 2.4 L engine. 30,000 miles on the odometer. Are there any things that we should look out for in this vehicle? Any problem areas?
Have had both of our hyundais reprogrammed. No change in dipstick. Both yellow.What color is the dipstick handle?
Yellow is stock
Orange has had the recall done
Red means it has had a replaced engine.
