Hyundai Sonata recall

Though the manufacturing of cars is closely monitored by computers, there are instances when some cars are released for sale with undetected faulty auto part. It's for this reason that recalls are declared. Recalls are meant to prevent possible accidents which may be caused by these defective parts or accessories, so in keeping with the assurance of safety and quality companies recall their cars for corrective measures.

The 1995 Hyundai Sonata was given a recall because of a misleading label that showed a different cargo capacity estimate than its actual capacity. Such mislabeling can lead to injury when the car is overloaded. 1995 Hyundai Sonata owners are expected to have their labels replaced at their local dealers. The Hyundai Company was ordered by the Ministry of Construction and Transportation to issue a recall on its Sonata EF because it was found that this model's bearings in the cooling fan motor burns out while running or driving. Since the radiator fan helps cool the engine, failure of the fan to work correctly would mean an overheat will occur most likely.

The defective part will be replaced by the company free of charge. 17, 118 units of the 1999 Hyundai Sonata were recalled because the transmission computers of the 2.5-liter engines needed to be reprogrammed due to computer communication errors with generic scan tools. Another recall for the 1999 Hyundai Sonata was served to 165, 977 units fitted with 2.5-liter V6 engines because of the intermittent low-speed engine stalling it may experience. This is caused by the interruption of the MAF sensor as a result of the engine vibration transmitted to the MAF sensor connector wires. This condition increases the likelihood os a crash accident. Dealers have been instructed to reroute the MAF sensor connector wiring harness.
