| Description |
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2013 Sonata and 2011-2012 Sonata Hybrid vehicles. On February 27, 2018, Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) notified NHTSA that they were recalling 154,753 model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. On April 18, 2018, Hyundai expanded the recall to include an additional 425,305 model year 2012-2013 Sonata and 2011-2012 Sonata Hybrid vehicles.

8/3/2017 - Mike
The OEM tires are garbage. With less then 30K miles on the tires, two of the 4 tires developed bubbles on the sidewall. Thus I had to get them replaced. The other two tires were worn at less than 40K. I meticulously rotate my tires at every oil change.

I bought my sonata August 5th. The recall was obviously known about by dealers before this date. why was the repair not made before the vehicle was sold? Just Saying!
