What happened

Hyundai is recalling certain 2006–2010 Sonata and 2006–2011 Azera vehicles that were originally sold or are currently registered in specific northeastern and midwestern states and the District of Columbia. The recall addresses a corrosion issue where road salt and water can enter the rear crossmember, potentially causing the steel to corrode and the rear control arm to detach. If this occurs, it may suddenly change the rear wheel alignment, affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.

To address this issue, Hyundai dealers will repair or replace the crossmember assembly at no cost to the owner. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Hyundai Customer Care Center at 1-800-633-5151 to arrange service. The recall began on October 8, 2013, and Hyundai's recall number is 113.
