NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2001 Hyundai XG300
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

SUSPENSION
HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 188,282 MY 2001-2004 SONATA AND MY 2001-2004 XG300 AND XG350 VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. ROAD SALT APPLIED IN THESE JURISDICTIONS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS MAY RESULT IN PROGRESSIVE, INTERNAL CORROSION OF THE FRONT SUB-FRAME ON THE VEHICLES, AND MAY RESULT IN THINNING OR PERFORATION OF THE SUB-FRAME STEEL. THE CORROSION IS FREQUENTLY VISIBLE AND OFTEN DISCOVERED DURING INSPECTION OR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND OWNERS MAY ALSO HEAR NOISES OR NOTICE TIRE MISALIGNMENT AND STEERING PULL. IF THESE SIGNALS ARE UNDETECTED OR UNHEEDED, THE CORROSION MAY PROGRESS AND THE FORWARD MOUNTING OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM MAY DETACH FROM THE SUB-FRAME.
Risk: IF THAT HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE MAY LOSE DRIVE POWER TO THE WHEELS, AND THE FRONT WHEEL MAY MAKE CONTACT WITH THE FENDER OR WHEEL WELL, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
02V105000
AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION THAT LEADS TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION COULD RESULT FROM MOTION OF THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS AND SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR WHICH MOUNT TO THE ADJUSTABLE SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY. THIS CONDITION ONLY RELATES TO THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS AND COULD PREVENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH WHERE SUCH DEPLOYMENT SHOULD OCCUR.
Risk: NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE SRS SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY DURING A SIDE IMPACT CRASH.
01V362000
POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULES (PCM) WERE INSTALLED IN SOME VEHICLES. THE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED PCMS CONTAINED A CONDENSER THAT WAS NOT CORRECTLY INSTALLED ONTO THE PCM PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. THE INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE CONDENSER COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE IGNITION FAILURE SENSOR.
Risk: A DAMAGED IGNITION FAILURE SENSOR COULD RESULT IN ENGINE STALLING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
01V307000
EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 110. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE PLACARD ATTACHED.
Risk: INCORRECT TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE CAN DAMAGE TIRES, AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING, AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 200912334,786 units in Canada
Structure
On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), road salt can collect in the rear portion of the side members of the subframe and may result in internal corrosion leading to thinning or perforation of the subframe steel. The corrosion may ultimately lead to separation of the lower control arm at the forward mounting point to the subframe. When separation occurs, in most cases, the movement of the arm will cause the axle to pull out of the transaxle and the vehicle will no longer have drive power to the wheels. In extreme cases, the wheel can also rotate off its designed axis and make contact with the fender or the wheel well. Both outcomes could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front subframe assembly. Should the subframe not require replacement, drainage holes will be added, as well as treatment with rust-proofing material to arrest the corrosion process.
Recall 20020821,324 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles an intermittent condition that leads to the supplemental restraint system (srs) air bag warning light illumination could result from motion of the side impact air bag wiring harness and side impact air bag wiring harness connector which mount to the adjustable seat cushion assembly. This condition only relates to the driver and passenger seat mounted side impact air bags and could prevent seat mounted side impact air bag deployment during a crash where such deployment should occur. Non-deployment of the srs side impact air bag could increase the risk of injury during a crash where side impact air bag deployment is intended. Correction: Dealers will service the front seat side impact airbag wiring harness.
Recall 2001296197 units in Canada
Engine
Certain passenger vehicles. Improperly manufactured power train control modules (PCM) were installed in some vehicles. The improperly manufactured PCMS contained a condenser that was not correctly installed onto the PCM printed circuit board. The incorrect installation of the condenser could result in damage to the ignition failure sensor resulting, in engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: dealers will inspect the PCM to determine if it was manufactured during the affected production period. If necessary, the PCM will be replaced at no cost to the vehicle owner. .

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
NOTE - REPORTED AIRBAG FAILURE EARLIER, THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM. ON OCT 11TH, DURING A RAIN STORM TWO DOGS WALKED INTO THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I HIT THE BRAKES, AND HAD PLENTY OF PEDAL YET THE CAR CONTINUED ONWARD. MY INITIAL REACTION WAS THAT I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP BUT QUICKLY IT BECAME APPARENT THAT I COULD NOT. I ATTEMPTED TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT HOPEING THAT I WOULD SLOW THE VEHICLE ENOUGH TO GO AROUND THE DOGS. THE CAR BARELY SLOWED AND I CONTINUED OFF THE ROADWAY STRIKING A POLE PERHAPS 100 FEET OFF OF THE ROADWAY. AT THE TIME I WAS MOST BOTHERED BY THE AIRBAG FAILURE WICH I REPORTED EARLIER. THOUGH I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND MY FAILURE TO STOP, I DID NOT REPORT IT AS A BRAKE FAILURE BECAUSE I HAD PLENTY OF PEDAL AT THE TIME, NOR TO BE HONEST DID I HEAR THE SOUND OF TIRES SLIGING ON THE PAVEMENT. FRANKLY, I COULD NOT EXPLAIN MY FAILURE TO STOP. WHEN THE CAR WAS SENT IN FOR REPAIRS THE TRACTION CCONTROL LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. AFTER ALL BODY WORK WAS COMPLETED THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO COVINGTON PIKE HYUNDAI, THE DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR INSPECTION. AT THAT TIME THEY REPLACED THE "TRACTION CONTROL" MODULE UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN THE CAR WAS FINALLY RETURNED TO ME, THE BRAKES GENERALLY WORKED AS EXPECTED. HOWEVER, THE FIRST TIME IT RAINED I HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN IN A PANIC STOP AT ONLY ABOUT TEN MILES PER HOUR AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WENT INTO A SKID. IT WAS ACTUALLY LIKE BEING ON ICE. UPON RETURN TO THE DEALER THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY. ON ONE OCCASION THE MECHANIC EVEN ADMITTED THAT THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS DURING ONE PANIC STOP. THE SLIDING WAS PARTICULARLY OBVIOUS WHEN THE STREETS WERE WET. THE DEALER FINALLY FOUND THAT OF THE SIX BRAKE LINES GOING INTO THE ANTILOCK BRAKE MODULE, ONLY TWO WERE IN THE CORRECT FITTINGS (THE REAR WERE COMPLETELY REVERSED). THE MECHANIC, MR. JOE GRIFFIN, ASSURES ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM "FROM THE FACTORY" IN THAT THEY HAD TO ACTUALLY USE TUBE BENDERS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

THE TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS ALSO TURN ON/OFF BY THEMSELVES WHETHER DRIVING THE CAR OR IF THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE TO GET MY CAR JUMPED EVERY TIME I GO TO START IT .IT WASN'T UNTIL EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT A NEIGHBOR CAME TO LET ME KNOW THAT I LEFT MY LIGHTS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I KNEW NOBODY HAD BEEN IN MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS RECOVERING FROM A MAJOR SURGERY AND MY CAR KEYS ARE ALWAYS WITH ME. THIS INCIDENT WITH THE NEIGHBOR SHED LIGHT ON PART OF THE PROBLEM. NOW I KNOW WHY MY BATTERY IS CONSTANTLY DEAD.I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAR IS TURNING ON IT'S ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.THE ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY DRAIN HAS CAUSED THE CODES FOR THE CAR TO KEEP BEING ERASED SO THERE IS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE CAUSE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE /AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON. IT'S FRIGHTFUL THAT THE LIGHTS GO ON OR OFF, DAY OR NIGHT, WITHOUT CAUSE.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE NIGHT DRIVING! THE STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OF THE STEERING/BRAKESCONTROLS AND ALL POWER. I AM TERRIFIED OF HWY DRIVING NOW! I COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE!THE THRASHING AND LUNGING OF THE CAR SCARES ME. THE ELECTRICAL IS GOING ON AT LEAST 8X DAY/NITE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS!
