What's wrong?
The turbocharger oil feed pipe on 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz and Santa Fe vehicles with 2.5-litre Turbo engines carries engine oil from the cylinder head to the turbocharger. The turbocharger spins at high speed and depends on a steady oil supply to cool and lubricate its moving parts.
On included vehicles, the pipe joint was damaged during supplier manufacturing. A stamping mark left surface abrasions and cracking, and the joint did not have enough material thickness. That weak spot lets the oil feed pipe crack. Once the pipe cracks, engine oil leaks into the engine compartment and onto nearby components.
What you notice comes from that leak. Hyundai lists engine oil leaking, smoke, and a burning or melting odor as warning signs before the problem is found. If any of those signs appear, treat them as a reason to stop driving and contact a Hyundai dealer.
Who's affected?
Hyundai identifies the same turbocharger oil-feed pipe under the pipes, hoses, and fittings component and the turbo/supercharger component.
