- Possible cause described
- The cause of the coolant loss is unclear (internal leaks are suspected). There were engine failures that Hyundai fixed from 2013. Recalls: a 12 V socket that overheats with the tyre-repair compressor (a fused extension lead is added) and a clutch switch that could allow starting without pressing the pedal.
