{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2009121","date":"2009-04-23","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Suspension","summary":"On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), road salt can collect in the outboard portion of the front lower control arm and may result in internal corrosion leading to thinning of the steel in the lower control arms.  In severe cases, the corrosion may progress to the point where the lower control arm's upper and lower panels become perforated.  A perforated front lower control arm may fracture between its ball joint attachment and the forward and rearward pivot attachments to the chassis.  This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front lower control arms.  Should the control arms not require replacement, drainage holes will be added, as well as treatment with rust-proofing material to arrest the corrosion process.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"R0058","part_number":null,"units":45759,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules utilisés dans des endroits où on épand beaucoup de sel sur les routes (Ontario, Québec, Nouveau-Brunswick, Nouvelle-Écosse, Île-du-Prince-Édouard et Terre-neuve et Labrador), le sel peut s'accumuler dans la partie extérieure du bras de suspension inférieur avant et cela pourrait produire de la corrosion interne et provoquer l'amincissement de l'acier dans les bras de suspension inférieurs. Dans les cas graves, la corrosion pourrait évoluer au point que les panneaux inférieur et supérieur du bras de suspension inférieur soient perforés. Un bras de suspension inférieur avant perforé pourrait se fracturer entre le point de fixation du joint à rotule et les points de fixation des pivots avant et arrière sur le châssis. Cela pourrait faire perdre le contrôle du véhicule, causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies.  Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer les bras de suspension inférieurs avant. Si les bras de suspension n'ont pas à être remplacés, des trous de drainage devront être ajoutés; de plus, on devra appliquer un traitement contre la rouille afin d'arrêter la corrosion."},"vehicles":[{"year":2001,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"ELANTRA","vehicle_id":"2001_hyundai_elantra","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"ELANTRA","vehicle_id":"2002_hyundai_elantra","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2003,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"ELANTRA","vehicle_id":"2003_hyundai_elantra","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2003,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"TIBURON","vehicle_id":"2003_hyundai_tiburon","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2009121"}
