NHTSA Complaint #11195749 — 2011 HYUNDAI TUCSON

THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON MY VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 181/NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V063. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET AVAILABLE FOR THIS AND THEY ISSUED THE RECALL IN FEBRUARY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR P.M. SERVICE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED SYMPTOMATIC OF THE NATURE OF THE RECALL (LEAKING FLUID BETWEEN ENGINE BLOCK AND OIL PAN), BUT THAT HYUNDAI DID NOT YET HAVE A REMEDY. WHEN I LOOK UP THE RECALL ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, IT SAYS,"IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA..." I FEEL AS THOUGH, GIVEN THE POTENTIAL RISK (FAILURE AT HIGH SPEED/POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE) AND TIMELINE (RECALL ISSUED IN FEBRUARY - NO REMEDY YET AVAILABLE IN MID APRIL), HYUNDAI HAS INDEED FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. FURTHERMORE - I HAVE RECEIVED NO OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM HYUNDAI REGARDING THIS MATTER WHICH I FIND UNPROFESSIONAL AS WELL.
