The problem
Hyundai de puerto rico (hpr) is recalling 347 my 2008 elantra vehicles. The fuel pump motor May not have the proper, uniform internal electrical surface contact. This May cause the fuel pump to produce less pumping pressure than required to supply the fuel injection system.
The risk
As a result, poor engine staring and hesitation May result. Other engine performance issues May also result and lead to a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the vehicle's fuel pump subassembly. The recall began on February 9, 2009. Owners May contact hpr at 1-800-981-0188.
