Known issues to check on a 2017 Hyundai Sonata
- Theta II Settlement, Lifetime Short-Block Coverage and KSDS Update (2011–2019)
2011-2019 Sonatas with 2.4L or 2.0L direct-injected Theta II engines are included in Hyundai's 2019 engine class settlement, which provides lifetime coverage for short-block repairs caused by connecting rod bearing failure (conditions apply, including installation of the Knock Sensor Detection System software). KSDS flashes the check-engine light and puts the car in limp mode if it detects early bearing wear (code P1326).
What to do: Confirm the KSDS update and ask a Hyundai dealer what engine coverage applies to the VIN. - Dual-Clutch Transmissions (1.6T Eco and N Line) (2015–2026)
2015-2019 Sonata Eco models pair a 1.6L turbo with a 7-speed dual-clutch, and 2021-on N Lines use an 8-speed wet dual-clutch. These can feel different from a conventional automatic at low speed. Certain 2021-2022 N Lines were recalled for a transmission oil pump problem that can cause loss of drive power (22V-746), and for a 2.5L turbo fuel-pipe leak (21V-524).
What to do: Test-drive Eco and N Line models in traffic and confirm recalls are complete. - Anti-Theft Software Update (2011-2019 Key-Start Models) (2011–2019)
2011-2019 Sonatas with a conventional turn-key ignition are eligible for Hyundai's free 2023 anti-theft software update, which requires the key fob to unlock the car before it will start. Push-button-start models are not affected.
What to do: Ask a Hyundai dealer to confirm the update; it is free.
Recall applicability varies by model year, engine, transmission, production date and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls, confirm Theta II engine recall, KSDS and settlement status on 2011-2019 four-cylinders, and confirm the anti-theft update on key-start models.
