The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the recall this week for <b>four Hyundai models</b>.

Hyundai's recall includes more than 86,500 Sonatas with a defective air bag warning light that could improperly illuminate. The recall of 1999-2001 Sonatas involves vehicles manufactured between March 1998 and November 2000. Dealers will service the front seat side impact air bag wiring harness in the recall, which Hyundai spokesman Mike Anson said was not conducted for safety reasons.

Other Hyundai vehicles involved in recalls include:

More than 42,700 1997-2001 Tiburons built between March 1996 and August 2000 on which driver and front passenger seat belts may not extend and retract smoothly. No accidents have been reported in connection with the problem.

More than 26,600 of the 2000-2001 Accents in 23 cold-weather states made between August 1999 and May 2001. At extremely cold temperatures, moisture in the throttle body can cause a higher than normal idle speed, Anson said. No accidents have been reported in connection with the problem.

More than 1,900 of the 2001 XG300s made between August and September 2000. In some vehicles, improperly manufactured powertrain control modules were installed. The recall is nearly complete, Anson said, and no accidents have been reported in connection with the problem.

I don't think i have had any problems with my thottle body getting moisture in it with my accent. So I think my idle speed is fine. Thanks for looking out.

I got this in my email today.

From:Consumer Protect
(A group of concerned Hyundai distributors,dealers and owners)


Dear Hyundai car owner,

You may not know this,but Hyundai has cheated you into buying a
defective car whose engine hp figure is falesly inflated.You are
entitled to a full refund in addition to compensation.To get back at
Hyundai and secure your rights,do joint the big class suits against
it.

There are two big class suits being filed against Hyundai. The first
is the engine hp inflation suit. The second is the recall and
defects suit. More campaigns are being waged against Hyundai to get
it to refund and compensate Hyundai owners everywhere who have been
cheated into buying Hyundai cars whose engine hp, torque and
compression ratio figures are falsified and to recall over 4,000,000
defective cars it has knowingly sold in most countries and
compensate owners thereof.

According to Korean Ministry of Constuction&Transport(MOCT), over
500,000 Korean-made cars are recalled in Korea every year for
defects and safety reasons.Each and every model
is recalled at least once and some models are recalled 5 times.
View MOCT statement as published in English in the leading Korean
daily Chosun Ilbo:
www.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200202/200202130154.html

-NHTSA has just ordered Hyundai to recall over 160,000 cars for
quality and safety reasons.
Refer to NHTSA data base or view story in daily Korea Times:

Conclusions:

1)Hyundai recalls over 300,000 cars in Korea and 200,000 in the west
every year for safety and defects reasons. It has never done so in
the rest of the world. It follows that Hyundai must recall over
4,000,000 defective cars it has knowingly sold in third-world
countries.
2) Despite its defects and recall debacle, Hyundai is still able to
maximize its profits which it can attain through quality dumping,
false labeling,misleading advertising and hoax warranties.
