## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor America \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain model year 2015\-2016 Sonata Hybrid vehicles manufactured December 8, 2014, to August 18, 2015, and Hyundai Sonata vehicles manufactured May 28, 2014, to March 18, 2016, equipped with the panoramic sunroof option.  Due to a bonding issue with the sunroof wind deflector, the sunroof panel on the affected vehicles may detach while driving.


## What can happen

If the sunroof detaches from the vehicle it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will repair the wind deflector anchor plate, free of charge.  The recall began December 2016.  Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-800\-633\-5151.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 152.
