Why not keep it? Because there's no guarantee it won't happen again. From what I've found it's not all that uncommon. There's a thread where a guy with a 2016 is on his THIRD engine in 40,000 miles. Another guy on the same thread chimed in and was on his second in less than 40,000 miles. I have a difficult time having any faith in the car when the catalytic converter fails in less than 50K miles and wipes out the engine.
I thought the 80/20 was fair until I thought about it and realized this isn't an unheard of problem with Hyundai. It's just that the problem is starting to show up in the Veloster too.
