Trainor also emphasized this is not a full recall. It appears the company is taking a pro-active approach in addressing the issue so it doesn’t get to the point of necessitating a costly and cumbersome full recall.

Trainor told us through email that the free fix will consist of dealers checking wheel alignment and vehicle tracking, and if necessary installing new front suspension struts. Hyundai will even supply affected customers with a loaner free of charge. Trainor said that Sonatas built outside of the September to April window aren’t affected, so there will be nothing to fix.
