Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Sonata vehicles manufactured March 1, 2005, through January 21, 2010; and model year 2006-2011 Azera vehicles manufactured September 27, 2005, through November 22, 2010 originally sold in, or currently registered in, 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 and water can enter portions of the rear crossmember, leading to corrosion of the crossmember steel. This may lead to detachment of one of the rear control arms.
Control arm separation may suddenly change the rear wheel alignment, affecting the handling of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will repair or replace the crossmember assembly. The recall began on October 8, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai Customer Care Center at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall number is 113.

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 393,308 MY 2006-2008 SONATA VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN ADVANCED AIR BAG SYSTEM WHICH FEATURES AN OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT. THE PURPOSE OF THE OCS IS TO DISABLE THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT FRONT AIR BAG WHEN IT DETECTS THE PRESENCE OF A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM OR SMALL CHILD IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT. THE RIGHT FRONT AIR BAG IS DISABLED TO PREVENT INJURIES TO A CHILD THAT MAY RESULT FROM A RIGHT FRONT AIR BAG INFLATION DURING A CRASH.
MISCLASSIFICATION OF A SMALL STATURE ADULT AS A CHILD IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAY CAUSE THE RIGHT FRONT AIR BAG TO NOT INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MERITS AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO THE RIGHT FRONT OCCUPANT.
DEALERS WILL VERIFY THAT THE OCS DOES NOT PROPERLY RECOGNIZE A PROPERLY SEATED ADULT OCCUPANT. AFTER VERIFICATION, DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY AND SHIP IT TO AN EVALUATION AND REPAIR FACILITY. THIS FACILITY WILL EVALUATE AND REPAIR OR REPROGRAM THE SEAT CUSHION AND OCS AS NECESSARY. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT MAY 26, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.

Red “airbag” light on dash illuminated while driving. Code read as B1706: passenger buckle pretensioner. May have been covered under Hyundai’s 15yr/250k warranty but owners never notified since not official recall. Although, this defect may not affect airbags themselves it causes “airbag” light to remain illuminated until addressed. Driving with the “airbag” light continuously illuminated may pose risk to unsafe conditions due to unknown new airbag codes since “airbag” light already illuminated with buckle pretensioner code B1706.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN MY CAR IS DEFECTIVE. THIS WAS ALREADY A RECALL BY HYUNDAI, BUT FOR REASONS I DON'T UNDERSTAND DOES NOT INCLUDE MY CAR AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE.

HE STATED MY VIN IS NOT IN AIRBAG RECALL RELATED TO THIS CODE BUT THAT THERE WERE AIBAG OCS CODES ON THAT MODEL YEAR WHICH CAME UP B1448 THAT WERE COVERED. I COBTACTED HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA AND WENT OVER WITH THEM A SERIES OF QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE VEHICLE. HYUNDAI ADVISED ME THAT I MAY BE COVERED BY VEHICLE PASSENGER OCS RECALL. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE WITHOUT A CHARGE. ALSO TRIED TO INSTEAD SELL A BATTERY DESPITE BEING NEW ONE. CONTSCTED HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA AGAIN AND REFERRED ME OUT BUT STATED WHILE THIS IS RECALL IT DOESNT APPLY TO VIN.

I FIRST NOTICED THE VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AT ABOUT 121,000 MILES AND AT 140.000 MILES I HAD THE VALVE COVER GASKET REPLACED, THERMOSTAT, INTAKE PLENNOM GASKET ALSO. AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AFTER IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THE OIL LEAKING ONTO IT AT 156,092. LUCKILY I JUST DROVE BY MY MECHANICS GARAGE AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND ABOUT A MILE PASSED HIS GARAGE THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK AND STALL AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ALONG WITH THE CD TURNING ON AND OFF ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WHICH WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF WHEN IT WAS BUCKLED FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO HIS GARAGE BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN IN HIS PARKING LOT.

THE AIR BAG TURNS ON AND REMAINS ON. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER, WHEN I VISITED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SIMPLY SENT ME AWAY STATING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND HYUNDAI IS STILL WORKING ON IT. IT SEEMS LIKE HYUNDAI DEALERS ARE SENDING AWAY CUSTOMERS WITHOUT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR AT LEAST TRYING TO ORDER THE PART. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DEALERS ARE SIMPLY AVOIDING TO ADDRESS. THE DEALER DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO CHECK THE CAR WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, AS SOON AS I MENTIONED THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THEY SIMPLY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS.

TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SHOP FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A BAD OC MAT SENSOR. I WAS QUOTED $1000+ FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I ASKED WHY THIS WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE MY CAR WAS IN THE RANGE 06-07, THEY SAID MY VIN DID NOT INDICATE AN ACTIVE RECALL. I CALLED CORPORATE AND THEY ALSO SAID I WAS SOL. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE FULLY RECALLED, FAR TOO MANY OF THEM ARE FAILING AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL FOR FAULTY SENSORS, RECALL NOTICE, 08V161000, FOR 2006 - 2008 HYUNDAI SONATAS BUT MY 2007 IS NOT COVERED? I FEEL LIKE MY SONATA HAS MANY OF THE ISSUES IN PAST RECALLS BUT FOR SOME REASON ISN'T INCLUDED IN THEM (OUTSIDE LIGHTING, ESC LIGHT PERIODICALLY KICKING ON, BRAKE SENSOR FAILING NUMEROUS TIMES, CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH REAR BRAKES, ETC.) I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD EXPAND THIS AIRBAG RECALL AS I HOPE WE AREN'T BEING PUT IN HARMS WAY WITH AN UNEXPECTED AIRBAG FAILURE WHEN WE NEED IT MOST.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I START THE CAR. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF UNLESS THE SEAT BELT IS HOOKED UP. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE MAY BE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH FAULTY SENSORS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DISCONCERTING BECAUSE I'VE REVIEWED THE ISSUES ON-LINE AND IT'S POSSIBLE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT BE OPERATING PROPERLY. I'VE SEEN THAT OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH THESE SAME ISSUES AND GOTTEN LITTLE OR NO SATISFACTION FROM THEIR HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED RECALL NOTICE, 08V161000, ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FOR 2006 - 2008 HYUNDAI SONATAS BUT MY 2007 IS NOT COVERED? IS THERE A WAY TO FIND OUT WHY THAT IS?
