MFR'S REPORT DATE: August 19, 2008

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V429000

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE08044

COMPONENT: Fuel System, Gasoline: Delivery: Fuel Pump

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 65000

SUMMARY:
Hyundai is recalling 65,000 M/Y 2008 Elantra vehicles with 2.0 Liter Beta engines. 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.

CONSEQUENCE:
Poor engine starting and hesitation may result. Other engine performance issues may also result increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the fuel pump subassembly free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during September 2008. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
