2 known faults

1.2 MPi 84 manuelle

  1. Recall: fuel pump (loss of power, stalling)

    Manufacturer recall

    Recall 51DT07: the fuel pump impeller can swell under the effect of heat and fuel, rub against the pump walls and cause a loss of power or even the engine cutting out. Concerns i20s (as well as the i20 N and Bayon) built between 1 April 2021 and 3 December 2022. The pump is replaced free of charge at a Hyundai dealer; the serial number can be checked on the Rappel Conso site.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. Electronic faults: multimedia, driver assistance, 12 V battery

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    Fiches-auto reports multimedia screen freezes, loss of Android Auto and a 12 V battery that can go flat after several weeks standing; one owner cited saw a collision alert and a fuel gauge corrected by a software update at Hyundai. CarVerif mentions Android Auto disconnections reported by owners. Few reviews, so these are indicative only.
