## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor Company \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain model year 2015 Sonata vehicles manufactured April 25, 2014, through June 16, 2014.  Due to a manufacturing error, one or both of the front brake calipers may fracture.


## What can happen

If a brake caliper fractures, brake effectiveness would be reduced, lengthening to distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Hyundai contacted the affected owners on June 19, 2014 and instructed them not to drive their vehicles.  Hyundai dealers will replace the affected brake calipers, free of charge. The recall began on September 12, 2014.  Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-800\-633\-5151.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 120.


## 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.
