THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP THEY PUT IT ON A MACHINE & SAID IT EITHER HAS ABAD GAS CAP OR A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK. WHEN I TAKE THE GAS CAP OFF TO FILL UP MY CAR IT HAS NO PRESSURE AT ALL & I CAN SMELL GAS FUMES FOR AWHILE AFTER THAT. YOU CAN UNHOOK THE BATTERY FOR AWHILE & THE LIGHT WILL STAY OFF FOR A FEW DAYS THE IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. I HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM & WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.*AK

THE FUEL FILLER CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. IN JANUARY 2000, HYUNDAI SENT THE ORIGINAL OWNER A NEW FUEL FILLER CAP. A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE CAME REQUESTING TO TAKE THE CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALER TO HAVE THE PRESSURE CHECKED IN THE FUEL TANK TO SEE IF ANY CRACKS. JUST BEFORE TAKING THE CAR IN FOR THIS INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER CHANGED THE FUEL FILLER CAP AGAIN AND THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. MY CONCERN IS, DO I HAVE TO HAVE THIS PRESSURE CHECKED PERIODICALLY. DOES THE FUEL FILLER CAP NEED TO BE CHANGED, HOW OFTEN. I REALLY FEEL PARANOID AND INTIMIDATED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ACTION I SHOULD TAKE. THANK YOU

OIL LEAK DUE TO ENGINE VALVE COVER GASKET FAILURE. MJS
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS CAN APPLY EXCESSIVE VACUUM TO THE FUEL TANKS DURING THE CANISTER PURGE CYCLE. IF EXCESSIVE VACUUM IS APPLIED, MINOR FUEL TANK DISTORTION CAN RESULT. A SMALL CRACK COULD DEVELOP ON THE UPPER FUEL TANK SURFACE. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WOULD THEN ILLUMINATE AND, IN SOME CASES, THE VEHICLE DRIVER MAY NOTICE A GASOLINE ODOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL PRESSURE CHECK THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK TO DETERMINE IF IT HAS CRACKED. IF THE FUEL TANK HAS CRACKED, IT WILL BE REPLACED.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WERE CONTAMINATED DURING ASSEMBLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONTAMINATION INTERFERES WITH THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CONTINUITY AND PREVENTS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FROM OPERATING. INOPERATIVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCED VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE CONTAMINANTS FROM THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER CONTACTS.
