## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor America \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain model year 2011 Elantra vehicles manufactured November 12, 2010, to March 31, 2011, and Sonata vehicles manufactured December 11, 2009, to February 28, 2010, originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.  Road salt may corrode the front coil springs, possibly resulting in the coil springs fracturing.


## What can happen

If a front coil spring fractures, it may contact the tire, possibly puncturing it, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front coil springs, free of charge.  Interim notifications were mailed on November 17, 2015.  The recall began on January 6, 2016.  Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-855\-671\-3059.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 133.  Note: Vehicles that were previously registered in salt belt states but are currently registered elsewhere are eligible to be inspected and repaired.


## 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.
