Hyundai to recall 68,000 Genesis, Equus sedans
[THE INVESTOR] Hyundai Motor, the country’s top automaker, was ordered to voluntarily recall some 68,000 units of its Genesis and Equus large sedans for faulty fuel vapor canisters, the Transport Ministry said on April 11.
The affected vehicles were produced in 2011.
“We informed Hyundai Motor to recall the affected cars in 30 days. A compulsory recall will be ordered unless the automaker announces a voluntary recall in that period,” the ministry said.
A defective canister could lead to the engine stalling when a car is moving at slow speed just before it comes to a stop.
