Safety Recalls

NHTSA Safety Recalls:
Important: The following recalls were issued for the 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA). To find out if a specific 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS still has open recalls that require repair, CARFAX recommends contacting an authorized dealership for more information.

Recall date: 09-11-2000
Units potentially affected: 165,977
NHTSA campaign number: 00V259001
Defective part or component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:OTHER PART
Description: Vehicle Description: Some Sonata vehicles equipped with 2.5 liter V-6 engines and all Elantra model vehicles may have experienced intermittent low-speed engine stalling, which could occur if the MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor electrical signal is interrupted as a result of engine vibration transmitted to the MAF Sensor connector wiring harness. This condition can cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will re-route the MAF Sensor connector wiring harness.
Recall date: 07-07-1999
Units potentially affected: 11,530
NHTSA campaign number: 99V178000
Defective part or component: POWER TRAIN:TRANSMISSION:AUTOMATIC
Description: Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently elastic, resulting in transmission fluid leakage. This leakage can result in reduced pressure application to the clutches, brake, and kickdown servo, allowing them to slip. Such slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and could cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. Dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve.
