Description of the problem	While turning left at an intersection, i heard a loud bang and lost steering control. I pulled over to the side of the road and called for a tow to my mechanic. The passenger side front wheel was displaced, the 2 front wheels were not parallel and the wheel had hit the front bumper cover causing it to come loose. The tow driver noted that the lower control arm snapped. Front passenger wheel was hitting the front bumper cover as it was pulled onto the flat bed. I called hyundai corp and local dealer on following day (monday). I tried to get direction regarding inspection of vehicle. Since an additional tow could cause more damage; i asked if hyundai could inspect at the local shop. I could not get any direction on how to get the car inspected. On the 3rd call i was advised that safety recalls are only covered for 1 year after the recall service. When i asked if i needed to contact nhtsa, jack indicated that since i mentioned nhtsa he is required to pass the case to a sr hyundai representative and that i would receive a response very soon. I have not received any return call or other communication from anyone at hyundai corp or the local dealer. The attached pics show the front passenger side lower control arm corrosion and failure. The recall service performed in 2014 was obviously not adequate. The sudden loss of control was a horrifying feeling. I am hopeful that nhtsa will take appropriate action so that others are not continued to be put in peril. I understand there have been numerous other occurrences of lower control arm failure in vehicles that were serviced under the recall. Note that my vehicle was serviced for the recall at freehold hyundai shortly after i received notice.

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.
