The problem: A faulty check valve could let air into the fuel tank, causing it to expand and contact hot exhaust components. If this happens, the tank could develop a leak and cause a fire.
The fix: Dealerships will replace the faulty check valve, inspect the fuel tank and replace it if necessary, and provide a software update, free of charge.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may call Hyundai at 855-371-9460 or Kia at 800-333-4542.
