| 1994 HYUNDAI EXCEL | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
Units affected: 600 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1994-05-11 |
| Summary: IN SOME VEHICLES, THE MANUFACTURER'S PROTECTIVE INTERNAL COATING OF THE ELECTRONIC CRANK ANGLE SENSOR DOES NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN OPEN CIRCUIT AT HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. | |
|
| 1990-1994 HYUNDAI EXCEL FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Recall |
| 1990-1994 HYUNDAI EXCEL | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Units affected: 257001 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1993-11-23 |
| Summary: THE VEHICLES FAILED THE LATERAL MOVING BARRIER IMPACT TEST REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." THE FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE GAS TANK EXCEEDED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AMOUNT OF SPILLAGE. | |
|
| 1986-1989 HYUNDAI EXCEL POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION Recall |
| 1986-1989 HYUNDAI EXCEL | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Units affected: 515000 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1993-10-04 |
| Summary: THE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS MAY LOCK UP FROM INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OF THE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION CASE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE DRIVE WHEELS TO SEIZE AND THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. | |
|
| 1986-1989 HYUNDAI EXCEL ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM Recall |
| 1986-1989 HYUNDAI EXCEL | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
Units affected: 895000 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1991-12-31 |
| Summary: DETERIORATION OF THE REED VALVE SUBASSEMBLY MAY LEAD TO A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SECONDARY AIR SUPPLY PORTION OF THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE SCREWS WHICH ATTACH THE REEDS TO THE REED VALVE SUBASSEMBLY MAY RUST, AND IF THE RUSTING BECOMES SEVERE, THE SCREW HEADS WILL ERODE AND ALLOW THE REEDS TO SEPARATE FROM THE REED VALVE SUBASSEMBLY. CORROSION MAY ALSO OCCUR ON THE REED VALVE SUBASSEMBLY, DEFORMING THE REED SEATS AND PREVENTING THE REEDS FROM CLOSING PROPERLY. SEPARATION OF THE REEDS FROM THE REED VALVE SUBASSEMBLY OR IMPROPER CLOSING OF THE REEDS ALLOW HOT EXHAUST GASES TO FLOW BACKWARD INTO THE PLASTIC SECONDARY AIR FILTER CASE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. THESE HOT EXHAUST GASES MAY MELT THE SECONDARY PLASTIC AIR FILTER CASE. | |
|
| 1990 HYUNDAI EXCEL WHEELS:CENTER SECTION Recall |
| 1990 HYUNDAI EXCEL | WHEELS:CENTER SECTION
Units affected: 2281 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1990-03-15 |
| Summary: LOCK WASHER LOCATED UNDER THE NUT THAT SECURES THE FRONT HUB TO THE DRIVE SHAFT MAY HAVE HAD IMPROPER HEAT TREATMENT AND COULD CRACK. | |
|
| 1986-1989 HYUNDAI EXCEL VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL Recall |
| 1986-1989 HYUNDAI EXCEL | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Units affected: 8550 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1989-06-19 |
| Summary: IF CRUISE CONTROL MAIN SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION WHEN ENGINE IS STARTED, SYSTEM CAN BE AFFECTED BY A SHORT DURATION VOLTAGE DROP CAUSED BY OPTIONAL HI-POWER (H340) RADIO. | |
|
| 1986-1987 HYUNDAI EXCEL SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS Recall |
| 1986-1987 HYUNDAI EXCEL | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
Units affected: 321000 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1987-11-25 |
| Summary: VEHICLE MAY FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE BRAKE FADE AND RECOVERY PORTION OF FMVSS 105. | |

| 1986 HYUNDAI EXCEL | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
Units affected: 8197 | HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Report Date: 1986-03-17 |
| Summary: A COTTER PIN IN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LINKAGE ASSEMBLY MAY BE MISSING. THIS PIN ACTS AS A RETAINER FOR THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER PUSHROD CLEVIS PIN. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE CLEVIS PIN MAY SLIDE OUT CAUSING THE MASTER CYLINDER/BRAKE PEDAL LINKAGE TO BECOME DISENGAGED. IF THIS LINKAGE BECOMES DISENGAGED THE SERVICE BRAKES CANNOT BE APPLIED, CREATING THE RISK OF A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. | |
