| Description |
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH THREADED PORTIONS OF THE STEERING GEARBOX ASSEMBLY'S LEFT AND RIGHT INNER BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES THAT CONTAIN INTERNAL CRACKS IN THE MATERIAL STRUCTURE. |
| Consequences |
IF THE INNER BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY WAS TO BREAK AS A RESULT OF THE INTERNAL CRACK, THE TIE ROD END ASSEMBLY WOULD NOT LONGER BE ATTACHED TO THE STEERING GEAR BOX. THIS WOULD PREVENT STEERING CONTROL OF THAT FRONT WHEEL BY THE SEPARATED TIE ROD WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. |
| Corrective action |
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING GEARBOX ASSEMBLIES ON THESE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS WERE CONTACTED BY TELEPHONE BEGINNING ON APRIL 8, 2005, AND INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES.

i have the 05 elentra and the airbag light has been on since i bought it in january of 06. i was never told about the recall or how to get it fixed, now my car after all these years get a rejection sticker because of the airbag light being on, my car right now is listed as unsafe because of a light no one fixed or told me was a problem. the place i got the car from has never in the past been reliable either. they took my money and said we are done with you. they dont return calls and if they do they act like they cant stand the fact you contacted them. i have to have this replaced in order to get my car legal again, but im unemployed and cant pay for it out of my own pocket. this sucks. people are so greedy they make things so fast and dont take time to make sure everything works correctly then the consumers like me are left holding a broken bag of groceries. not fair!!
