If it never happen they wouldn't have made a recall for the LC Accent, they modified the air box or something to prevent this from happening, but if it wasn't a problem then why did they recall it?

I still doubt it highly, considering I live in a cold climate 4 months out of the year
was it a recall or TSB?

QuitChurBitching... It has happened from a few members here that did the mod and one that didn't do the recall. Do a search.
If it doesn't happen to you.. doesn't mean it wont happen to someone else.. its the prostitute rule.. just cause you didn't catch it.. doesn't mean someone else wont.
NHTSA Recall No. 01V346/Hyundai Recall No. 047
Vehicles: Hyundai 2000-2001 Accent vehicles equipped with 1.5 liter or 1.6 liter engines manufactured from August 1999 through May 2001.
Population: 26,608 passenger vehicles sold or currently registered in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Problem: While driving at a steady throttle opening for an extended period of time during extremely cold ambient temperatures (below approximately -5 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity), moisture in the combustion chamber blowby gases can freeze and block the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve and hose. If the PCV hose freezes, combustion chamber gases are forced through the breather hose into the air intake hose and then into the throttle body. Moisture in the combustion chamber blowby gases may freeze inside the throttle body bore and throttle body idle speed control circuit resulting in the throttle valve not closing fully and a higher than normal idle speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new, relocated PCV hose and will additionally install a heated throttle body on the 2000-2001 Accents equipped with 1.5-liter engines that were produced through January 31, 2001. Owners should contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
This is why that heated coolant runs through it.. if you take it off you need to put it on during colder weather..
