## What is wrong

Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2013 front wheel drive Santa Fe Sport vehicles manufactured July 13, 2012, through March 12, 2013; and equipped with 2.4 liter engines.  Due to a manufacturing issue, the right front axle shaft may fracture.


## What can happen

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 remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle shaft assembly, free of charge. The recall began on September 19, 2013.  Owners may contact Hyundai Custom Care Center at 1\-800\-633\-5151.  Hyundai's recall number is 112.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
