Hyundai Recalls 85,036 Model Year 2001-2003 Santa Fe Vehicles

Hyundai is recalling 85,036 MY 2001-2003 Santa Fe vehicles originally sold in currently 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 rear trailing arms, which could lead to thinning or perforation of the rear trailing arm steel. The corrosion is progressive and occurs over time. You may see or feel slight to moderate changes in vehicle operation which will increase if the vehicle is not repaired. These changes include a lowering of vehicle height that can lead to tire misalignment and steering pull. You may also notice a creaking sound. If the corrosion is allowed to progress, the rear trailing arm may fracture while driving. The deformation and loss of structural rigidity of the rear trailing arm may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Read more...
