Description of the problem	On 12/31/2012, the coil spring on my 2004 hyundai santa fe fractured and punctured the right front tire of the vehicle. I paid upwards of $2000 on 1/7/2013 to have this repaired. I have since traded in the vehicle and no longer own it. I recently received a recall notice from hyundai usa describing the same coil spring fracture that i experienced a couple of years earlier. This recall is called 'campaign124' by hyundai. Today (11/4/2014), i called to inquire about the possibility for some reimbursement for the repair i had performed after my incident. I was informed that this was not possible since i no longer owned the vehicle and the repair could not be inspected by hyundai, i don't feel that this is right and i should be entitled to some reimbursement. If requested, i would be able to provide detail of the work performed by the mechanic who performed the service.
