Hyundai is recalling 175,765 MY 2001-2004 Sonata and MY 2001-2004
XG300 and XG250 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. During winter months, large quantities of salt are used to de-ice roads in the salt belt states.
Road salt may result in internal corrosion of the front sub-frame that is progressive and may result in thinning
or perforation of the sub-frame steel. The corrosion is frequently visible and often discovered during
inspection or routine maintenance. You may also hear noises or notice tire misalignment and steering pull.
These are indications that your vehicle should be serviced. If these signals are undetected or unheeded, the
corrosion may progress and the forward mounting of the lower control arm may detach from the sub-frame.
