The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the catalytic converter was stolen, and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for repair. The vehicle remained in its possession for a month before being returned to the contact. While the contact was driving home from the mechanic shop at an unknown speed, the engine shut off without warning. The contact initially towed the vehicle back to the independent mechanic who then informed her of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V063000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact then had the vehicle towed to a dealer where a diagnostic test was performed, and it was determined that the vehicle experienced engine failure. The results were sent to the manufacturer who informed the dealer that the failure was not a result of the recall and that they would only cover half the cost of a new engine. The contact called the manufacturer directly and was given the same information. A case was filed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
