Vehicles Affected: Approximately 28,000 model-year 2011 Hyundai Elantra sedans manufactured between Nov. 12, 2010, and March 31, 2011, and Sonata sedans manufactured between Dec. 11, 2009, and Feb. 28, 2010, originally sold, 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
The Problem: Road salt may corrode the front coil springs, possibly resulting in the coil springs fracturing; a fractured spring could make contact with the tire, possibly puncturing it and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the front coil springs for free.
What Owners Should Do: Hyundai will begin notifying owners on Nov. 30. Owners can call the automaker at 855-671-3059, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
