- Summary
- On December 18th, 2002 Hyundai America technical center, Inc. (Hyundai) submitted a defect information report regarding approximately 47,000 1995 and 1996 Hyundai Accent vehicles registered in salt belt states.according to Hyundai, these vehicles were manufactured with front suspension lower control arms with an interior partition wall.the partition wall restricts the coverage of paint to the interior surfaces of the control arm.when operated in areas of the country that use road salt for de-icing, the lower control arm can corrode over time.this corrosion can lead to perforation and can possibly fracture between the front and rear pivot points of the arm.such a fracture limits the front suspension's ability to control front to back movement of the wheel.under braking, the front wheel can contact the wheelhouse.all known failures have occurred in salt belt states.vehicles will be inspected for lower control arm corrosion damage and, if damaged, the arms will be replaced.
