On the 2021-2022 Hyundai Veloster 2.0L Theta II T-GDI (G4KH), certain 2021–2022 US Veloster N vehicles with the eight-speed wet DCT are included in Recall 236 / NHTSA 22V746. Following an internal high-pressure pump fault, incorrect fail-safe logic can lead to loss of drive. Eligibility requires a VIN check; the manual-transmission N is outside this issue. A separate bulletin distinguishes high-flow and high-pressure pump faults and requires wiring diagnosis before component replacement.

Common Symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light
  • Complete loss of drive power while driving
  • Transmission enters fail-safe or refuses to engage gear
  • Transmission oil pump DTCs P193B79 / P1C2D / P1C2E

How to Fix

If drive is lost or unreliable, stop safely and arrange recovery rather than attempting to reproduce the failure. Have Hyundai verify Recall 236 status and complete its prescribed inspection, conditional transmission replacement and TCU software remedy. For pump-related codes, use the applicable service diagnostic procedure, including connector and harness checks. Repair an identified wiring fault before condemning a pump. Bulletin 22-AT-009H distinguishes high-flow pump replacement from the high-pressure/DCT branch after diagnosis; neither is authorized by code alone. Its ordinary warranty terms must not be confused with the free VIN-eligible recall remedy. The technician must follow the current repair, fluid and post-repair setup instructions.

On the 2019-2022 Hyundai Veloster 2.0L Theta II T-GDI (G4KH), on 2019-2022 Veloster N cars (built Sept 6, 2018 - Aug 18, 2022) the fuel control valve plunger inside the Theta II 2.0T-GDI high-pressure fuel pump wears gradually, letting excess fuel into the pump. Fuel-rail pressure climbs above target, the ECM sets P0088 (rail pressure too high) and the engine runs rich enough to misfire, idle roughly and lose drive power at low speed. Hyundai filed NHTSA 24V-528 (Hyundai Recall 262) in July 2024 for about 54,000 N-badged cars and G70s; the Veloster N remedy was released September 2024 under TSB 24-01-075H.

This issue also affects: Hyundai Tucson

Common Symptoms

  • Reduction or loss of motive power at low speed
  • Rough idle and loud misfire
  • Check engine light with P0088
  • Strong fuel smell from exhaust

How to Fix

Free recall remedy: dealer checks for stored DTC P0088/P008800, updates the ECM software with a limp-home strategy, and replaces the high-pressure fuel pump, bolts and high-pressure pipe only when P0088 is present (about 0.3 hours for software alone, 1.1 hours with the pump). Out of recall a HPFP replacement is roughly $600-$1,000.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $1,000

On the 2019-2022 Hyundai Veloster, the Veloster N's rear brakes use a high-metallic performance pad on plain iron rotors. When the car sits after rain, a wash or overnight in a damp climate, surface rust bonds the pad face to the rotor; on the first move the pads tear free with a loud clunk or pop, and in worse cases the rear caliper parking-brake lever corrodes and holds the pad on, so the rear drags, overheats and wears prematurely. velostern.com threads from 2019 onward collect dozens of reports, with owners in Atlantic Canada and the Pacific Northwest hardest hit; dealers typically find nothing wrong because the pads have released by the time the car is inspected.

Common Symptoms

  • Loud clunk or pop from the rear on first move after rain or a wash
  • Rear brakes dragging with heat or burning smell
  • Grinding or scraping from rear brakes at low speed
  • Premature rear pad and rotor wear

How to Fix

There is no campaign. Proven fixes are switching to a less metallic or ceramic rear pad compound and/or slotted rotors, cleaning and lubricating the caliper slide pins and parking-brake lever pivot, and on level ground leaving the manual car in gear instead of setting the parking brake so the pads are not clamped while wet. A seized rear caliper needs replacement (about $300-$500 per side).

Typical repair cost:$150 - $1,000
