Hyundai recalls 65,000 Elantras for fuel pump problem

Some 2008-model Hyundai Elantras are being recalled due to fuel pumps that could lose pressure and decreasing engine performance. In Elantras with the 2.0-liter Beta engine, gasoline with ethanol added creates a buildup of film on the pump's electrical contacts. This can cause the engine to hesitate during starting or while running. The recall is voluntary, and if you have one of the affected cars, don't hesitate to contact your dealer.

"This can cause the engine to
hesitate during starting or while running"

The ones that I've seen fail have caused a check engine lamp, and in some
cases, the car to not run at all.

Not sure about the ethanol claim. The story I heard was that the pumps in
question were made in China.
