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 2021-2022 Hyundai Veloster 2.0L Theta II T-GDI (G4KH), the optional 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission introduced on the 2021 Veloster N uses two electric oil pumps. Inadequate soldering on the high-pressure electric oil pump's circuit board can let a component detach; the pump then fails, the TCU logs pump/hydraulic-pressure faults (P193B79, P1C2D03, P1C2D1C, P1C2E4B, P1C2E92) and the transmission's fail-safe logic cut drive entirely instead of limping. Hyundai recalled 53,142 2021-2022 8DCT vehicles across six models under NHTSA 22V-746 (Hyundai Recall 236). The separate high-flow pump has its own fault family (P193D/P193E, U1135) handled by TSB 22-AT-009H. This is 8DCT-only; the 6-speed manual N and the first-gen 7-speed dry DCT are unaffected.

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

Free recall remedy: dealer reflashes the TCU so a pump fault yields a limp-home mode rather than a complete stop, and inspects/replaces the high-pressure pump where faulty (roughly 0.5% of production; production fixed May 2022). Under TSB 22-AT-009H a high-flow EOP fault gets a pump replacement, while a confirmed high-pressure EOP fault means replacing the entire DCT assembly under warranty.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $0

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
