Consumer Description

IN JAN. 2015 IT WAS ON A 100 MILE HIGHWAY TRIP. UPON ARRIVAL HE NOTICED THE ENGINE DEVELOPED A KNOCKING NOISE. I FOUND MANY 2.4L HYUNDAI'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. THE ENGINE WAS MADE IN INDIANA. IT SOUNDS THE SAME AS NHSTA CAMPAIGN #15V-568. IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. I CAN'T UPLOAD IT, BUT I HAVE VIDEO OF THE KNOCKING. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO EARLIER YEARS
