Hyundai Trajet: Suspension May Fail
Hyundai Trajet and Santa Fe Suspension Recall Hyundai is recalling approximately 67,708 Trajet and Santa Fe vehicles sold in the United Kingdom because corrosion may weaken the rear suspension arms, potentially causing them to fail and affecting the vehicle's steering control. Santa Fe models may also have corrosion issues with the front sub-frame. Hyundai will inspect the suspension components and either apply a protective wax oil coating if corrosion is minor, or replace the parts if corrosion is severe.
