Bought the car exactly a year ago. Left rear brake light went out. When the tech at Auto Zone tried to replace the bulb for me, the housing was melted on the brake light assembly. When I checked for open recalls on my vehicle, there was one open for the brake cushion and a problem with the brake light staying on. Thinking that was related as the housing would have melted from excess heat and the brake light staying on, I took it to the dealer for repair of the brake light and recall. The dealer stated that the damage to the brake light is not covered under the recall!!! There are a plethora of the same complaints on line for the exact same thing! Hyundai needs to include this in the recall or issue a separate recall! It is over $300 to fix one assembly!
