NHTSA Complaint #11462884 — 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA

Was driving down the road and the car started smoking so pulled over into a parking lot of a business and the engine locked up and could not start vehicle again. No indicator lights or warning lamps went off. Upon opening the hood, discovered it was completely dry with no oil in it at all even though I regularly have the oil changed and there was no warning light or oil pressure light that came on. Towed vehicle to dealership and am awaiting their diagnosis. Safety concern is that the vehicle could have caught on fire and the sudden cessation of the engine could have caused a crash. I have researched and discovered that recall 62 is in place for this year make and model of my vehicle and that there have been many other reports of similar instances with this model vehicle. I did a search on the NHTSA website inputting my VIN # and it says there are no recalls related to my vehicle. However, I don't think it is a coincidence that my vehicle had the same symptoms that others described in their complaints, ie., no warning lights, no prior mechanical issues, smoke coming out of the engine, engine seizing up, etc. I've had no prior mechanical issues or any incidents that led me to believe there was a problem. This occurred suddenly and unexpectedly. I hope that the manufacturer will do the right thing and repair it since I never got notification of the recall and clearly is the same issues that are the subject of the recall.
