HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 160,904 MY 2001-2003 ELANTRA AND MY 2003 TIBURON VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. ROAD SALT USED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS IN THESE JURISDICTIONS MAY RESULT IN INTERNAL CORROSION AND THINNING OF THE STEEL IN THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THE CORROSION MAY PROGRESS TO THE POINT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM'S UPPER AND LOWER PANELS BECOME PERFORATED. A PERFORATED FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM MAY FRACTURE BETWEEN ITS BALL JOINT ATTACHMENT AND THE FORWARD AND REARWARD PIVOT ATTACHMENTS TO THE CHASSIS.
THE FRACTURING OF THE CONTROL ARM COULD AN OWNER'S CONTROL OVER THEIR VEHICLE THAT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS FOR CORROSION DAMAGE. IF SPECIFIED LEVELS OF INTERNAL CORROSION DAMAGE ARE FOUND, THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEW FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS INCORPORATING ADDITIONAL HOLES IN THE UPPER AND LOWER PANELS. IF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS DO NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER WILL ADD DRAINAGE HOLES TO THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND WILL TREAT THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS WITH RUST-PROOFING MATERIALS TO ARREST THE INTERNAL CORROSION PROCESS. THESE PROCEDURES WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 17, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151.

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MY 2001-2002 ELANTRA VEHICLES. MOVEMENT OF THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS MOUNTED UNDER EACH FRONT SEAT, POSSIBLY CAUSED BY CONTACT FROM MATERIALS PLACED UNDER THE SEAT, MAY RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE THAT WOULD CAUSE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION.
THIS CONDITION ONLY RELATES TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT MOUNTED SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS AND MAY PREVENT SEAT MOUNTED SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH WHERE SUCH DEPLOYMENT SHOULD OCCUR. NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE SRS AIR BAGS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER UNDER CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CLIPS AND REVISED SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS ATTACHMENTS UNDER THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SEATS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2008, AND WILL BE SENT OUT IN SIX MAILINGS. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MY 2001 ELANTRA VEHICLES. IF A LIQUID IS SPILLED IN THE AREA OF THE CUPHOLDER ON THE CENTER CONSOLE, IT MAY SEEP THROUGH THE CONSOLE OPENING FOR THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER AND THEN DRIP ONTO THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. THE SPILLED LIQUID MAY CONTAMINATE THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE AND ITS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS AND CAUSE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE.
THIS CONDITION MAY AFFECT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAGS AND MAY PREVENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH WHERE SUCH DEPLOYMENT SHOULD OCCUR. NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE SRS AIR BAGS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER UNDER CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE VEHICLE'S AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR. THE RECALL OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 30, 2008, AND LETTERS WILL BE SENT OUT IN SIX MAILINGS. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE BRAKE TUBES FOR THE REAR BRAKES CAN CONTACT THE STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS.
CONTACT BETWEEN THE REAR BRAKE TUBES AND THE STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY RESULT IN REAR BRAKE TUBE WEAR AND CORROSION, INCREASING THE RISK OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE. BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPOSITION THE REAR BRAKE TUBES, INSTALL BRAKE TUBE CLIPS, AND APPLY ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL TO THE REAR BRAKE TUBES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 22, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HYUNDAI OF PUERTO RICO AT 1-800-633-5151.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE REAR BRAKE TUBES PASS BEHIND THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER. TWO STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS ARE WELDED TO THE CROSSMEMBER. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), THE REAR BRAKE TUBES COULD CONTACT BOTH STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS. ON VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH ABS, THE REAR BRAKE TUBES MAY CONTACT ONLY THE LEFT MOUNTING BRACKET. CONTACT BETWEEN THE REAR BRAKE TUBES AND THE STEERING BRACKETS COULD CAUSE WEAR AND CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE.
FLUID LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPOSITION THE REAR BRAKE TUBES SO THEY DO NOT CONTACT THE MOUNTING BRACKETS, INSTALL BRAKE TUBE CLIPS TO CONTROL THE LOCATION OF THE REAR BRAKE TUBES, AND APPLY ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL TO THE TUBES IN THE AREAS WHERE CONTACT WITH THE MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY HAVE OCCURRED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON OCTOBER 13, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.

I OWN A 2001 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND STAYED ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN DEC. BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON JAN. 6, 2004 AND THEY CLAIM LIQUID GOT ON TO THE AIR BAG SENSORS AND COMPUTER THROUGH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HOUSING, SO THEY FEEL THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $1100.00 REPLACEMENT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND POOR DESIGN TO NOT PROTECT THE SENSORS WITH A COVER IF THEY ARE GOING TO INSTALL THE AIR BAG SENSORS NEXT TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH ARE NEXT TO THE CUP HOLDERS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A DRINK MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN SPLASHED NEAR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I DO NOT EVER RECALL THAT HAPPENING, AND NO ONE ELSE DRIVES MY CAR. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT HYUNDAI CORP. DOES NOT FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM (THE POSITIONING OF THE COMPUTER IN A VULNERABLE PLACE) BECAUSE "IN KOREA, PEOPLE DON'T EAT OR DRINK IN THEIR CARS". THEN TELL ME WHY THERE ARE CUP HOLDERS IN THEIR CARS. I THINK THEIR EXPORT MODELS SHOULD HAVE THE AIR BAG SENSORS AND COMPUTER PLACED SOMEWHERE ELSE, OR, AT THE VERY LEAST, IN A COVERED BOX. *CB ABL.PCO

WE PURCHASED A 2001 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT IN SEPT. 01. SINCE THAT TIME, WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG SENSOR TWICE. BOTH TIMES IT WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER. IN OUR ACCIDENT, A 35MPH FRONT END COLLISION, OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI, WHO SAYS IT WILL TAKE APPROX. 30 DAYS TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY DEEM AN INVESTIGATION NECESSARY. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DEAL WITH US, THEY SAY WE NEED TO GO TO HYUNDAI. IN THE MEANTIME, WE ARE LEFT WITH THE CHOICE OF REPAIRING OUR VEHICLE AND HAVING HYUNDAI CLAIM THEY CANNOT MAKE A DETERMINATION OF FAULTY MERCHANDISE BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE WAS FIXED, OR PAYING STORAGE FEES AT THE BODY SHOP AND RENTING A CAR UNTIL HYUNDAI DECIDES. AND, IF HYUNDAI DECIDES THEY WILL NOT DO AN INVESTIGATION, THERE ISN'T EVEN AN APPEAL PROCESS.

THIS VEHICLE IS HAZARDOUS TO BE ON THE ROAD. IT HAS FRONT END STEERING AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. IT HAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION FROM 35 MPH AND UP. IF TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE WHEEL SHAKES SO BADLY THAT YOUR HANDS GO NUMB. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND REPEATED TIME OVER A TWO AND A HALF YEAR PERIOD, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURERS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND HAVE DONE NOTHING. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I HAD AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. I NOW HAVE A PERMANENT INJURY THAT I WILL LIVE WITH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, AND THEY STILL DO NOT CARE. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN, AND I AM AFRAID EVERY TIME I LEAVE THE HOUSE THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND ONE OF MY CHILDREN GET INJURED. FORTUNATELY, WITH MY ACCIDENT I WAS ALONE. IN MY ACCIDENT MY STEERING LOCKED AND I HIT A STONE EMBANKMENT AT ABOUT 40 MPH WITH THE FRONT END AND MY AIR BAG ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY. UNFORTUNATELY I AM STUCK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, WHEN IT IS UNSAFE, AND UNFIT TO BE ON THE ROAD. IT IS A HAZARD TO MY FAMILY, AND ALL OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH ME. I SINCERELY HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO THESE DEALERSHIPS, AND MANUFACTURERS TO ENSURE THEY ARE SELLING OUR CONSUMERS A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE. *LA
