A problem with the fuel control valve could allow excess petrol inside the fuel pump and stall the engine, according to the recall notice.
Hyundai has recalled 7293 examples of the 2017 to 2022 i30 N hot hatch, citing a potential fault with the fuel control valve in the high-pressure fuel pump.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel control valve in the high-pressure fuel pump could allow excess fuel to enter the pump.
"If this occurs, the engine could stall resulting in a sudden loss of motive power whilst driving.
"A sudden loss of motive power whilst driving may increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants."

Hyundai advises that owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing by Hyundai Motor Company Australia (HMCA), asking them to schedule an appointment as soon as possible to have the fuel pump impeller inspected and replaced, free of charge.
