Details

What's wrong: Hyundai-Kia has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain model year 2011 sonata vehicles manufactured from December 11, 2009 through February 15, 2010. The front inside door lock switch can remain in the unlatched position.

Why it matters: The door may not be in the locked position and may open while the vehicle is in motion, possibly resulting in injury to the driver or passenger.

The fix: Hyundai-Kia will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles by replacing latches affected by this recall campaign free of charge. The safety recall began on March 12, 2010.
