Description of the problem	Faulty engine control module - while driving home from vacation, after approximately 9 hours on the highway, our check engine light came on in our 2015 sonata. We were only two hours away from home and the light wasn't flashing, so we continued driving. While on an acceleration ramp changing highways, the car sputtered and seemed to be losing power, even with the gas pedal completely floored. Thankfully, the engine didn't shut off and we were able to continue driving, however, the engine seemed to "mis-fire" and the car was hesitating and riding rough. The next day, the check engine light went off. A few days later, it came back on, and while trying to gain enough speed to get on the highway, the engine felt like it was cutting out and began to ride rough again. I immediately called hyundai to make an appointment to have the car looked at. When i made the appointment, the scheduler indicated there was a recall on my car. I asked if it had anything to do with the check engine light being on, and i was told it didn't. I took the car in, and after 2 or 3 hours they called and said my car was ready and they had replaced a faulty ecm (engine control module), which had caused the check engine light to come on. No mention was made of the recall. After reading all the posts on this site, i am convinced the problems people are having with their engines dying is the result of a faulty ecm. I have searched everywhere on the internet about hyundai recalling vehicles that could be affected, and i could find absolutely nothing. We never received a recall notice by mail or email either. Symptoms of a bad or failing ecm include the check engine light coming on, engine stalling, misfire or performance issues. Shame on hyundai for not protecting their customers against a potentially life-threatening hazard as this.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
