Details
What's wrong: Road salt may corrode the front coil springs, possibly resulting in the coil springs fracturing.
Why it matters: If a front coil spring fractures, it may contact the tire, possibly puncturing it, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front coil springs, free of charge. Interim notifications were mailed on November 17, 2015. The recall began on January 6, 2016.
