My control arm snapped a few weeks on my home from work. I got the car towed and was told by the mechanic the arm snapped due to corrosion. I just found out about the recall as I was surfing the internet. My question is, can I get reimbursed for the the repairs that were done on my Elantra and how do i go about it?
