The problem: These vehicles may have faulty axles that come loose from the transmission over time. Should this occur, the axle could completely disengage from the transmission, causing noise and/or loss of power to the drive wheels. Loss of power to the wheels while driving could result in a vehicle crash. Additionally, when parked, the vehicle could unintentionally move, resulting in a crash or injury to a pedestrian.
Corrective action: On affected vehicles, Hyundai dealers will inspect the front axles and replace them as necessary, making sure the new axles are firmly snapped into place inside the transmission.
Warranty info: Repairs will be covered on eligible vehicles under the provisions of this service campaign.
What owners should do: Call your local dealer with your vehicle identification number to determine if your vehicle is involved in this service action. You can also call Hyundai at 800-633-5151. Reference TSB number 15-01-011.
