This is a complaint about the failure of the Hyundai company to respond in a timely matter to a recall issued in Nov. 2020 (NHTSA 20V-705/Hyundai Recall 197) which can affect the alternator and electrical system of the vehicle. The company has not yet issued a resolution and so the dealers will not perform the necessary repairs needed to avoid a breakdown. This is the second recall issued for the exact same problem. Hyundai stated they would issue a remedy but have failed to do so and it has been 8 months. I am asking NHTSA to require the company to provide a remedy so as to avoid a potentially dangerous system failure. I have been through an electrical system failure once already while in traffic due to this precise problem. It could have been deadly. Something needs to be done and Hyundai is dragging its feet. Please intervene.
