| Defect Summary | Hyundai is recalling 188,282 my 2001-2004 sonata and my 2001-2004 xg300 and xg350 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 applied in these jurisdictions during the winter months may result in progressive, internal corrosion of the front sub-frame on the vehicles, 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, and owners may also hear noises or notice tire misalignment and steering pull. 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If that happens, the vehicle may lose drive power to the wheels, and the front wheel may make contact with the fender or wheel well, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will measure the thickness of the front sub-frame and inspect the front sub-frame for corrosion damage and, if necessary, the front sub-frame will be replaced with a new sub-frame that incorporates additional holes in the upper and lower panels. if the front sub-frame does not require replacement, the dealer will add drainage holes to the sub-frame and will treat the sub-frame with rust-proofing material to stop the corrosion process. this procedure will be performed free of charge. the recall is expected to begin during april 2009. owners may contact the hyundai customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151. | |||||||||||||||

| We own a hyundai 2001 xg300 which has severe corrosion and rust on the sub frame. since november, we had different work performed on the car. all the mechanic have said that the corrosion and rust is severe and is effecting the suspension and other mountings to the frame. the carbon emission evaporator needed to be replaced and the dealership to get it to mount had to use plastic zip ties due to the amount of rusts and holes in the frame. the dealership mechanics have stated that the car is unsafe to drive due to the rear tire is not fully attached and need welding work to be performed. this is due to the severe corrosion. the controller arm of the rear right passenger side needs to be replaced, both rear upper control arm were replaced. the regional district manager for the northeast says this is normal corrosion for a 10 year old car. | |||
