Hyundai Grandeur: Wheels May Misalign
Recall Summary Hyundai is recalling 3,704 Grandeur and Sonata vehicles sold in the United Kingdom because road salt can accumulate on the rear sub-frame in winter conditions and cause corrosion that may lead to loss of vehicle control. Dealers will inspect the sub-frame and either replace it if severely corroded or apply protective wax oil to extend its lifespan.

- Product
- Vehicles: HYUNDAI GRANDEUR, HYUNDAI SONATA. Units affected: 3,704
- Reason
- Where road salt is used to clear the snow in winter it is possible that road salt can accumulate on certain areas of the rear sub-frame and cause corrosion. If action is not taken to address this build up of corrosion it could ultimately cause the loss of control of the vehicle. Remedy: Recall all affected vehicle to check the sub-frame and if found to be excessively corroded replace it with a new subframe. Otherwise inject wax oil into the sub-frame to extend its life out to a total of ten years.
