Hyundai Sonata Recall Information

One of the famous European car manufacturers Hyundai cars is out of their latest creation. This car was named the Hyundai Sonata. This car has several features such as hybrid systems. This car has a system of orderly and efficient expenditure of gas that can reduce levels of carbon monoxide gas so it does not pollute the environment.

However about 139,500 Hyundai Sonatas from the 2011 model year have been recalled because there is a problem in Hyundai Sonata. The problem is about steering problem hat could cause a loss of control. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), which announced the Hyundai Sonata recall on September 23, connections in the steering column were either improperly assembled or insufficiently tightened on certain vehicles. The manufacturing defect means that the driver could suddenly lose the ability to steer the vehicle, possibly resulting in an automobile accident with a potential for property damage, injury and death.

NHTSA opened an investigation in late August after at least two customers complained that the steering shaft came loose on their Sonatas, causing them to completely lose the ability to steer the vehicle. The Kia Soul, which has different parts but is also made by Hyundai, is also under investigation after an owner complained of the same problem. The number of reports for the Sonata has since grown to a total of eight, according to company officials. There have been no injuries or accidents reported.

The recall affects certain 2011 Hyundai Sonatas manufactured between December 11, 2009, and September 10, 2010, at the company’s Montgomery, Alabama facility. The recall of the vehicles is expected to begin during October.
