Consumer Description
MY CAR HAS CODE OF P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD. THE MECHANIC I HAVE HAD LOOK INTO THE CAUSE HAS SUGGESTED REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ASSEMBLY DUE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. IT'S A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER 1.6 LITER NON-TURBO, THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE LARGEST RECALLS ON YOUR SITE. MY VEHICLE THOUGH IS NOT INCLUDED AND I FEEL IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE DUE TO HAVING CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE, LIKELY DUE TO DESIGN FLAW IF OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR FAILURES.
