2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA — Complaint #1922689
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OIL/LUBRICATION:FILTER/SCREEN filed August 27, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1922689 (ODI reference 11541041) concerns a 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA and was filed on August 27, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 27, 2023. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:oil/lubrication:filter/screen, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI ELANTRA cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:engine:oil/lubrication:filter/screen failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
