Hyundai recall
Hyundai is recalling over 139,000 Sonata sedans
because of a manufacturing defect that could cause drivers to lose steering control.
The recall affects 2011 models built between Dec. 11, 2009 and Sept. 10, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration noted on its website Sunday.(article)
An investigation had been opened in August. In February, Hyundai had recalled about 47,000 Sonatas because of faulty front door latches.
Hyundai now joins other major auto makers, namely Toyota and Nissan, who have been forced to recall their vehicles because defects have rendered their product not crashworthy.
