What this recall means for you

Some 2018 vehicles may have had their windshield and rear window installed with incorrect primer, which can weaken the glass bond over time. As the bonding strength drops, the glass may come loose and detach while the vehicle is being driven, raising the risk of a crash.

Owners will be notified by mail. Authorized dealers will replace the front and rear glass at no cost to you. Hyundai customer service can be reached at 1-855-371-9460, and you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to see whether your vehicle is affected.
