Engine recall - I did an oil change at glendale Hyundai CA. , and the vehicle is now blowing thick white smoke through the tail pipe. The engine is knocking, and the oil is sludgy and it sized up on me while driving on the city streets. My vehicle only has 36k miles on it. . . I did some research and noted that the model that has recalls on the engine for sludgy and knocking and worn-out bearings are Hyundai Sonata from the 2011 and 2012 model years it has either the 2. 0-liter turbo or 2. 4-liter version of the 4-cylinder theta ii engine. Im taking it to the dealer today and see what and how theyll handle the situation.

Driving down the freeway, we heard a clicking sound then a loss of power, but it came back after a few seconds. The clicking and loss of power happened again the next day while driving on a surface street, again for just a few seconds. The next thing that happened while accelerating onto the freeway, a red light flashed on the instrument panel, but did not stay on, unable to determine the light at that time. The next thing that happened was a puff of smoke came out of the tail pipe, which at that time we decided to take the vehicle to the dealer. The next day, the dealer informed me that the vehicle had no oil in the engine, and that it had goop in the oil pan. The dealer then said that the rings are burnt up and that the engine needed to be replaced. We had no warning that the engine had no oil - no warning lights stayed on. We also have a bluelink report that says everything is operating as normal.
