Hyundai issue statement on car recall

Today reached out to Hyundai for comment on the model recall:

At Hyundai Motor Company Australia, the safety of our customers is and has always been our number one priority.

That is why any incident that has the potential to compromise that safety, is taken extremely seriously. We undertake voluntary recalls of vehicles in accordance with our obligations under the Australian Consumer Law and Road Vehicle Standards Act. Vehicle recalls are a swift and effective means of replacing any component that may have a fault, at zero cost to the owner.

A recall of a Hyundai vehicle in an overseas country does not necessarily mean Hyundai vehicles in Australia are also affected by the same issue.

We are aware of the class action investigation and note that no proceedings have been filed. In the meantime, we continue to resolve any issues for owners as quickly as possible, regardless whether they are related to recalls or not.
