Description of the problem	There is recall 189 on my car (2014 2. 0 turbo) for a possible leaking fuel line due to heat causing cracks in the fuel line. A "fix" was performed in july 2020 by the dealership which seems to be wrapping the fuel line from what i have learned. I started smelling fuel intermittently n the following months,, but wasn't driving my car much so let it slide. Also my fuel mileage and performance was off. I recently started driving my car more and noticed the smell was unbearable at times. After driving the car i pulled the engine cover off and found fuel dripping onto the valve cover and after a few minutes the plastic quick disconnect fuel line that is part of the recall was loose (i could push it in and out on the fuel pump connector) since it had lost pressure from the fuel leaking. It was leaking between the quick disconnect to the rubber isolator on the line (see pics) and was not clear where the leak was, though fuel was covering the valve cover to the front of the car on the valve cover so seemed like the connector/o ring was not the likely cause. The next morning i started the car and there was not a leak when it was cold (and the fuel line was pressurized), but after driving it for a few minutes i checked and it was dripping fuel again. I contacted the dealer that performed the recall and they said to bring it in immediately. They looked at it and said the line was bad, but since the "recall fix" had been performed hyundai corporate would not cover the fuel line replacement. Luckily the dealer said they would and they are currently replacing it. The "recall fix" that was performed was obviously inadequate and could have led to a fire. Why wasnt the fuel line just replaced under the recall originally????
