Recall 00V259001: Possible Engine Stalling

1999 Hyundai Elantra Wagon L4-2.0LSECTION Recall 00V259001: Possible Engine Stalling
Some Sonata vehicles equipped with 2.5 liter V-6 engines and all Elantra model vehicles may have experienced intermittent low-speed engine stalling, which could occur if the MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor electrical signal is interrupted as a result of engine vibration transmitted to the MAF Sensor connector wiring harness.

This condition can cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will re-route the MAF Sensor connector wiring harness.

Owner notification is expected to begin during October 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
