NHTSA Campaign 14V435000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS

What Happened

The coil springs in your front suspension are the flexible parts that help absorb bumps and keep your wheels level. In certain 2001-2006 Santa Fe models, these springs can corrode and break due to road salt, especially in areas with harsh winters.

Risk if Unfixed

If the coil spring breaks, it could scrape against your tire and potentially puncture it. This could cause a blowout while you're driving, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Hyundai dealer will inspect the coil springs and replace them if needed, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
