“I found out that my car was put on a recall list in 2000,and I was never sent a recall letter. Now my car is in the garage because the fuel pump went out. Why do some people get the letters and others do not ? Diana white”
NHTSA complaint #10255441, filed 2009-01, 86,000 miles“2000 Hyundai Elantra has a problem were you can not pump gas without gas pump stopping like it was filled although you have only pump less than a gallon. There are a lot of people that own Hyundai's with this problem, just google Hyundai pumping gas problems. Sometimes gas spills from tank without the tank being fully filled because the gas rises, this is a safety hazard and Hyundai must correct this. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to fill your tank. I think this is a concern for a recall. …”
