Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The 2018 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid has multiple NHTSA-listed recalls that present real safety risks if left unaddressed. Seat belt linkages have two separate notices describing possible detachment from the pretensioner anchor, which could prevent proper restraint in a crash and increase the risk of injury. The panoramic sunroof/roof assembly recalls describe a bonding failure that could allow a panel or wind deflector to detach at speed, creating a road hazard. There is also an air bag recall describing a missing chemical enhancer which can prevent full second-stage deployment in certain crashes, and an engine bearing issue that can cause engine damage, stall, or fire risk. Finally, a hybrid propulsion recall addresses inadvertent activation of a voltage protection device that can cause loss of power in EV mode. Arapahoe Hyundai prioritizes safety and urges owners to schedule service immediately — repairs under these manufacturer recalls are free and required for safe operation.
