Description of the problem	This was covered by hyundia recall campaign 124. I filled under case # 9878948. Spring repair 2/12/14, sold car 4/5/14, recall 2/4/15. They only would pay for $318 of the $917 total repair and said it has to go to a hyundia dealership. They refused to pay for the sensers, strut mounts , sway bar link etc per the invoice. I contacted the person i sold it to and made a dealer appmt but they didn't show. Hyundia consumer affairs 800-633-5151 told me to file a dispute with bbb autoline which i did under case # hyu1713624. They never responded. Bbb autoline now says that they don't handle recalls disputes but you do. I just talked to them and they referred me to you. Without ever talking to me, while i was trying to get the car into a dealer and waiting for the bbb autoline response hyundia closed out the case. Ironically hyundia would have replaced both springs with oem, all other damaged parts and any damaged tires per their recall. It would have cost them 2x as much as the $917. They wouldn't even call my mechanic who the local hyundia dealer acknowledged as reputable. In our case, the broken spring bent the strut, damaged the sway bar and tore the abs sensor wire. The language in the recall information actually calls for the dealer to replace installed non-oem struts with oem struts so the new bracket will fit properly. Given this, i am surprised that you chose not to pay for the cost of the one strut and mount ($62. 1 6 +$135. 88) & repair ($37. 20) and the spring repair ($37. 20). Likewise hyundia chose not to pay for the damaged abs sensor ($175. 94) and its repair ($55. 80). In minnesota, like most states, parts are subject to sales tax of 7. 125%. In this case it added up to ($45. 25) which hyundia chose not to pay. Likewise hyundia choose not to pay the shop supplies ($13. 18) and the environmental fee ($4. 93) which are pretty typical.

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.
