. The Korean company Hyundai asked the owners of cars of the Santa Fe and Trajet models to check their vehicles due to the detection of a corrosion problem in the suspension zone, which can significantly affect the structural integrity of the vehicle.The call applies to cars that were built between July 2000 and June 2003 for the Santa Fe model, and between January 2000 and May 2004 for the Trajet, adding about 17,000 affected vehicles that will receive free repair, according to spokesmen for the automotive company.
Hyundai spokespeople explained that the salt poured on the roads during the winter is the main corrosive agent that affects the suspension system, due to the lack of specific protection for that area.
