Smelled gas fumes strongly upon fill-up for several days, check engine light. Took car in. Mechanic said recall #00V095002 was in effect on my vehicle. Took it to dealership to have them replace defective parts (tank & cap). Dealership only replaced cap but did not tell me at the time. Went to smog car next year and comes up with evaporative leak. Took back to dealership who told me "there is a huge leak on the top of your gas tank." Will not replace for free. Called manufacturer who said that dealership claims there was no leak at time of original inspection. Manufacturer said they are not under obligation to replace tank due to their claim that it was not cracked at the time of fuel cap replacement. Spoke with kasey at Hyundai on 9/22 at 2:15 pm. Recall notice clearly states that "tank must be replaced if cracked, regardless of vehicle's age or mileage."
