What Happened
The vapor tube hose clamp in your vehicle is a small part that helps prevent fuel leaks near the fuel tank. In some cases, it's not installed correctly, which could let fuel escape.
Risk if Unfixed
If fuel leaks out and gets too close to an ignition source, it could catch fire, putting you and others at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will check the clamp's position and adjust it if it's not right, all at no cost to you. Don't wait - schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
