Description of the problem	On may 17, 2014 at approximately 1 pm in the afternoon, i was driving on the freeway when i heard a loud "thud" and my steering wheel jerked slightly while traveling at 65 mph. The sound concerned me so i pulled over and looked at my braking assembly on the driver's side front wheel. I didn't see a loose caliper or anything out of the ordinary so i "limped" to where i was going. When i arrived at a family members house, i removed the front driver's side wheel and was shocked at what i saw. The upper control arm had snapped in two at the ball joint. Had i realized that at the time, i certainly would have had my car towed since this was a safety issue. I ordered a new control arm and installed it over a period of several days. I kept the broken control arm and brought it to my local dealership to show them what had happened and to inquire about any recalls hyundai may have on their control arms (may 27th). I spoke to one of the managers, kelly [xxx] at south bay hyundai, and he said no recalls had been issued and gave me the customer service hotline number. I called the customer service center and spoke to [xxx] on may 27, 2014 at approximately 11:45am. He also confirmed there were no recalls and offered to record the situation under case number 6626102 (i believe the conversation was recorded and started around 11:38am if used for reference). I explained to him the control arm should never have failed. After several emails to hyundai consumer affairs, they wanted nothing to do with the situation since the car was out of warranty. I only received canned statements from them. As an engineer myself, i believe this is a part that should easily last the lifetime of the vehicle. I believe this is a safety issue and could possibly affect others driving an azera or sonata. Please contact me for photos, documentation, and/or the failed control arm itself. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
