| Description of the problem | Faulty brake light switch but was told by local hyundai dealer and hyundai customer service that my vehicle was not included in the recent recall. Over 1. 7 million vehicles like mine were recalled. Mine has the same issue, why wouldn't mine be covered under the recall campaign? They told me mine was produced before the recall date! Really??? The part is very inexpensive and from what i understand, an easy fix. Why wouldn't hyundai, and my local dealer for that matter, want to make the repair at no charge in order to keep a customer happy. |
