What this recall means for you

A poorly welded brace can break loose from the vehicle, creating a road hazard for other drivers. A falling brace can also damage the air tank airline, which may cause the brakes to lock unintentionally. Either scenario can increase the risk of a crash.
Owners are advised not to drive affected vehicles until the repair has been performed. The repair is free: Hyundai Translead will work with owners and repair shops to apply welds and install brackets on the cross braces at no cost. Owner notification letters were mailed October 19, 2023.
