HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY recall for power train, reported to NHTSA on Jul 7, 1999, covering about 11,530 vehicles.
The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently elastic, resulting in transmission fluid leakage. This leakage can result in reduced pressure application to the clutches, brake, and kickdown servo, allowing them to slip.
The risk
Such slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and could cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.
The fix
Dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve.
