Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 2.4 liter engines. Due to a manufacturing issue, the right front axle shaft may fracture.
Why it matters: A fractured front axle may result in a loss of power to the wheels. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied, it may roll away. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle shaft assembly, free of charge. The recall began on September 19, 2013.
