This vehicle was previously included in NHTSA Campaign 18V-260 (Hyundai Recall 176). However, the manufacturer's chosen remedy in 2018 was inadequate and failed to permanently cure the safety defect. According to Hyundai’s defect report, the root cause of the recall is internal manufacturing burrs on the HCA housing cylinder block that degrade the oil seal over time, allowing fluid to leak onto electrical components and create a fire hazard. During the 2018 service visit, the dealership only replaced the outer \"phase cap\" rather than replacing the defective housing block itself. The underlying manufacturing defect (the internal burrs) has now completely destroyed the internal seals, resulting in a live manifestation of the exact safety defect and fire risk described in the original recall. A Hyundai dealership has confirmed the HCA failure and quoted $3,800 for replacement. Hyundai Motor America Corporate is actively refusing to remedy this active safety hazard, claiming the recall is permanently \"closed\" because a temporary band-aid remedy was applied in 2018. An incomplete or failed safety recall remedy does not relieve the manufacturer of their federal statutory obligation to permanently eliminate a safety defect. I am filing this complaint because Hyundai is refusing to repair a known, active federal safety hazard on a vehicle that received an ineffective remedy.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"IONIQ HYBRID","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
