What is being recalled
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Sonata Hybrid vehicles manufactured December 8, 2014, to August 18, 2015, and Hyundai Sonata vehicles manufactured May 28, 2014, to March 18, 2016, equipped with the panoramic sunroof option. Due to a bonding issue with the sunroof wind deflector, the sunroof panel on the affected vehicles may detach while driving.
Why it is dangerous
If the sunroof detaches from the vehicle it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will repair the wind deflector anchor plate, free of charge. The recall began December 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 152.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 16V-726 when calling a dealer.
