Hyundai Recalls 170,610 Model Year 2001-2003 Elantra and Model Year 2003 Tiburon Vehicles for Corrosion Issues

Hyundai is recalling 170,610 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.
