Warranty Information

Recalls Issued
US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 97V026000
Number of Units Affected 74,965
Summary The windshield wiper motor circuit breaker electrical contacts were contaminated during assembly.
Consequence This condition reduces the electrical continuity, particularly at low amperage, and can prevent the windshield wiper motor from operating. Inoperative windshield wipers can contribute to reduced visibility during inclement weather, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy Dealers will remove the contaminants from the windshield wiper motor circuit breaker contacts.
Notes Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Hyundai at 1-800-829-9956.
Dates of Manufacture April 1995 - October 1996
