| Description of the problem | Good afternoon, i am contacting the consumer affairs department regarding the recall 180 hyundai is conducting a safety recall in the united states to confirm the high pressure fuel pipe was properly connected by hyundai dealers to the high-pressure fuel pump outlet when the engine was replaced under recalls 132 and 162. In come cases, during the engine replacements under recall campaigns 132 and 162, the high pressure fuel pipe may have damaged, misaligned, or improperly torqued during the engine replacement procedure, allowing fuel to leak from the pipe. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pipe, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's recall number for this recall is 180. My hyundai sonata limited was involved in an accident after hyundai had just replaced the motor and on impact the whole car caught on fire, so what i am trying to do is find out do i need to contact nhtsa in regards to this matter but i feel that my life, the person involved in the accident was totally at risk due to this malfunction and i am out of so much and was put in a very hard financial place due to this fire when it could have been prevented. If someone could please contact me at [xxx] thanks, [xxx] vin #: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
