Engine replacement following bearing failure - anyone else seen this? USA Recalls

Hi,

We noticed a knocking noise from the engine of our 2017 car, but no other symptoms. Hyundai diagnosed a failed bearing and I now need to replace the engine at my cost. Has anybody else had this problem?
This appears to be a known issue in North America with a recall, but maybe manufacturing is different for the engines supplied here in the UK or Europe. Link to US recall: https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2021 ... ires.shtml

Appreciate any help/thoughts.

Ian

Hi. First question that leaps out is why are you having to pay? Isn't there a 5 yr warranty on your car?

Did it miss the service completely or was it serviced but not by Hyundai?

Serviced not by Hyundai, but an engine bearing should not fail damaging the engine.
Has anyone experienced this?

As long as the service has been carried out by a professional I don't think a manufacturer can avoid the warranty just because the car has been serviced by a non-franchised garage. Have you had a word with your local council's trading standards dept or your local CAB?
