Concerned About Hyundai Kona Engine Recalls

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased a Hyundai Kona and I’m a bit worried about the recent engine recalls. Has anyone had experience with a Hyundai Kona engine recall?

I’m wondering if it’s worth getting my vehicle checked or if I should wait for a recall notice. Any advice would be appreciated!


I’m attempting to envision what it would have been, but you might be correct. Still, I’m not really knowledgeable about this engine. If I don’t fix it, will it be dangerous?

The 2017-2021 Hyundai Kona SUVs with 2.0-liter engines may have a defect. The recall addresses engines with piston oil rings that were heat-treated inconsistently, potentially causing issues. This problem affects several model years, and owners are advised to check for any recall notices and get their vehicles inspected.

Hyundai has recalled certain Kona models due to engine issues. If you haven’t received a recall notice, your Kona may not be affected.

Check Hyundai’s website or contact your dealership for the latest information. If you’re concerned, schedule an inspection.
