I forgot to preface, Hyundai performed the recall. Just wondering whether the recall could have attributed to the car running out of oil so quickly?

What exactly did they do for the recall? New engine? In any case take it back!

I looked it up and Hyundai issued 5 recalls for your vehicle. The latest in 2020 was due to the ABS unit possible causing a fire. What does your shop receipt say? This recall fix shouldn't have stopped you from checking your oil regularly. There are many class action suits out there for the engine oil burning issue that you can join. If your engine failed due to NO oil, let's hope that Hyundai will help you pay for a new engine, or reduce the cost for you, but there are no guarantees.

I had my recall fixed on my tucson and it is still using excessive oil. It actually ran completely out without being due for oil change nor any indication light. It was bone dry
