POTENTIAL SUSPENSION FAILURE

Arsenal has brought to our attention that some cars may suffer from a failure of the wishbones at the front of the car.

Please read here:

http://www.hyundaicoupeownersclub.co.uk ... 41&t=14867


This was subject to a Hyundai recall.

http://www.recalluk.com/recalls/cars/hy ... -2012.aspx

However if you have a later gen 3 it will also be affected.

This was the letter sent out.



HCOC ADVISES ALL MEMBERS UNSURE IF THEIR CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED TO CONTACT YOUR DEALER ASAP

WITH WINTER APPROACHING IT IS IMPORTANT YOU CHECK

HCOC CARES FOR ITS MEMBERS - PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING

so my 2006 and Kates 2005 are ok ?

I'm guessing my 54 gen3 1.6 would have same problems in theory too then?

Which they shouldn't do...

damn 1 of mine collapsed about 3 weeks ago lol wish i knew about this :D lucky was at slow speed at the time maybe get the other side done lol

well aparently my car was inspected and completed in 2011 so i cant do anything about it even though it had collapsed i cant have the other check or replaced sounds like usual dealer BS to me

Whats stranger is on vosa it says on the vosa website the recall was 2012 ???

important-having spoken officially to Hyundai uk

Contact your dealer immediately to check for outstanding warranty work on your car GEN3 up only.

Hyundai have an agreement with VOSA they are only responsible for cars up to 10 years old.

That would mean owners of 02 and 03 cars have no chance-UNLESS DEALER IS PREPARED TO DO AT THEIR COST.THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT.

35 and 04 plate cars should check NOW their vehicles are ok.35 MAY BE OUT OF THE PERIOD.

04 plus can still get your car checked and repaired FREE.

PLEASE DO NOT TURN UP AT DEALERS DEMANDING WHEN THEY SAY YOU ARE NOT COVERED.

RING DEALER AND CHECK IF YOUR COVERED

Thanks for the info dupe

I'm abit confused (again) mines an 04 so I can get it checked? Even though I have no warranty ect?

Emailed TWG this afternoon about mine (an 04) with Reg and Vin no's, and had a phone call about an hour later to say mine is in the clear.

Hope you said hello to les

same here can you please advise us who you emailed - I have a 52 GEN 3 (just bought 2 weeks ago) then joined this Forum - car looks and drives like a dream although spooky enough any time I go over a speed bump really slow there is a rattle/knocking sound from drivers front wheel side - steering is ok esp on motorway not putting foot down or anything but very smooth ....................should I be worried ???

Any info appreciated,suppose whilst I am asking are there good garages to go to in Glasgow for repair work

You'd have to speak to Hawkins best of luck there

Firstly you can't have it done under warranty even if it was bad. Too old I'm afraid.

Knocking sound you need to check top nuts first....including centre one.

If its not them its your anti roll bar linkages.

He didn't give a name, so no. Is he the folically challenged bloke on service recep? If so, I've had a long chat with him a few months back!

My local dealer who had worked on the car already. You can get the contact details of your dealer online, quote you reg & VIN no and the recall link from this thread. They phoned me about an hour later. But that was TWG. Your dealer may be different.

Don't lets all email TWG, they'll get your address from the reg no. and if everyone in the country starts asking them, they'll get the hump and stop co-operating.

Yes please contact your own dealer in your area

what did your dealer say? Let us know!

Just off phone to Hyundai customer services said my car (52 Gen 3) was not one of the recalled vehicles

Just called to check mine. It wasn't affected. Gen 3.5 05 reg

Too new

Holy thread resurrection... All affected cars will be out of the 10 year period by now so an expensive fix if needed.

Checked my SIII at work, not one of the included vehicles.
