NHTSA Complaint #11075792 — 2012 HYUNDAI AZERA

IN EARLY 2017, HYUNDAI ISSUED THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT...''HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA IS REVISING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE RUBBER COUPLING IN THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) ASSEMBLY ON 2007-2015 ELANTRA SEDANS, 2009-2012 ELANTRA TOURING MODELS, 2011-2014 SONATA SEDANS, AND 2011-2015 HYBRID SONATA SEDANS TO 10 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL DELIVERY OR THE DATE OF FIRST USE, OR 100,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.' WHY ISN'T THE STEERING COUPLER ON THE 2012 HYUNDAI AZERA COVERED UNDER THE SAME WARRANTY THAT HYUNDAI EXTENDED TO THE 2007 ' 2015 ELANTRA SEDANS, 2009 ' 2012 ELANTRA TOURING MODELS, 2011 ' 2014 SONATA SEDANS AND 2011 ' 2015 HYBRID SONATA SEDANS? THIS EXACT COMPONENT WAS UTILIZED IN SIMILAR YEAR AZERAS, YET HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY EXTENSION OR REIMBURSE ME FOR THE $ 325.00 I SPENT TO HAVE THIS REPAIR MADE.
