The federal government is looking into a recall of 1.7 million Hyundais and Kias to make sure it was executed properly.
The recall was related to engine defects. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is looking at the recalls to see whether they covered as many vehicles as they were supposed to. The timeline is also being checked.
Original Recall Was Smaller
The original recall covered 470,000 cars – Hyundai Sonatas from the 2011 and 2012 model years. A Korean employee of the company flew to D.C. to blow the whistle, using internal documents to show that the recall didn’t cover as many vehicles as it should have. The recall centered around engine problems caused by debris that was left over from the manufacturing process. The debris could cause engines to seize or stall.
