Brought vehicle in to shop for front end noise. Found needed front brakes, pads, rotor, caliper. Repaired the items.the shop also noticed and stated "has a fuel leak at the tank (should be a recall"). I don't find any recall here. Any suggestions?

Faulty fuel sensor gauge. When trying to fill an empty tank the pump shuts off after only a couple of gallons. If i wasn't paying attention i would have thought it was full. I've seen complaints that the fuel gauge stops working on this car at similar mileage, if that happens too i won't know how much gas is in my car. I could then run out of gas while driving and lose power steering. This is an accident hazard. *tr

Owner has 10year 100k power chain warranty but hyundai dealer refused to fix this issue as they claimed this is not part of power chain. This…
