Ask a dealer or ring Hyundai

After reading this and taking drive to asda my brake light on but only when I accelerate goes out when I brake

Just phoned dealers my car needs the recall so booked in for the afternoon at two so hope this sorts my brake light problem

Phone your local dealer, they will have access to the national record to see what recalls have been carried out on your car and what ones are outstanding

hmm interesting never knew about this and never had a letter either will be ringing Hyundai dealership when I get back home in England

Take off the cardigan if you go in .,,,,you look like a baliff

Worth mentioning you are part of an owners club and ask if they mind you recommending them on the forum.
Did this with mine when I went and they have been nothing but helpful ever since, did a free all over check of the coupe, valet after saying I was a rep when I was in for the recall, even offered me a courtesy car (declined as I live 5 min walk away) and let me look up parts on their system when ever I go in to find something rather than having to ask for something and getting told it's only part of a pack etc.
Got my air filter, a few odds and sods form them over the last year without the usual "oh we can't get that unless we fit it" bollocks.

May not get you anything but no harm trying and if they do a good job then they will obviously get good feedback and more custom.

Macklin motors beside you is where I got my car.

Staff were really friendly, and nothing but help

I am thinking of driving through for my service and the recall, still not got it done!, I just need to work out if it's the big one? (timing belt etc)

Was to get mine done yesterday at sdn in falkirk but a very nice young lady called to say not able to do due to part not in so getting it done on Monday with a complete brake check for my trouble

Going by the official service schedule its 60k/6yr on the SIII but we had a long chat about it on here a year back and decided we were going with the original 50k/5yr. Figure they upped it to 60k just top make the SIII more appealing when on the forecourt. It's the same engine as the older cars afterall so why would it suddenly last longer

Well that's just what you need since you have a brake issue
My last Coupe came from there, didn't see the place myself but the owners book had lots from stamps from them

In getting my recall done at sdm Hyundai falkirk great service pleasant staff and a full valet for my trouble plus brake check highly recommend them will be taking car to them when next service due

what recall is this?
this is the first i've heard of this and only saw it by chance when i saw the topic.

Top right of page, hit the little '1' to go to the 1st page and see what it's all about

well i've had no letter.
and i have no hyundai dealer anywhere near me any more (since the local Bickets shut up shop).

Just phone any Hyundai dealer ask about recall and give your reg they will be able tell you if you need it or not

I called them myself and had the work done, got a letter about 2 months later.
Don't bank on no letter = all ok.
Phone call costs next to nothing and the work is free. Takes about an hour in the garage.

Just had mine changed at 60k service .Apparently after 08/58 plate, Hyundai fitted a "Longlife" timing belt which increased the need to change from 50k to 60k (according to the dealership I use)

Aye, we heard that one too. Then shouted bollocks from the rooftops , the belts look the same.

Either way will probably be changed to due age rather than mileage for a lot of folks.

Yeah mine is a 58 plate with 37k on the clock so you are correct it goes by age.
