Hyundai to recall Sonata in Korea over sunroof problem
By Shin Ji-hyePublished : Oct. 23, 2016 - 17:54
Hyundai Motor will issue a recall for its mid-size sedan Sonata in South Korea as the panoramic glass sunroofs can come loose and fly into traffic, the automaker said on Sunday.
Hyundai said the sedan’s poorly attached wind deflector may interfere with its panoramic sunroof that could thus easily become detached.
The Korean automaker reported the measure to the Land Ministry last week and plans to start the recall from Oct. 31.
The recall covers around 24,000 units of 2015-2016 Sonata including hybrid models.
The company also issued a recall for a total of 63,000 units of Sonata in the US for the same reason last week.
Hyundai’s US arm said it had several reports of detached sunroofs but had no reports of accidents or injuries due to the problem.
