Issue ID	1011436
Internal NHTSA #	10543929
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor Company
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2007
File date	02/09/13
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driver side sun visor mount failed unexpectedly, causing the sun visor to fall down and dangle in front of the driver by the electric wire that runs inside the hinge. The visor dangled in front of the driver blocking the view, and startling the driver. Had to disassemble the visor hinge to remove the visor before the vehicle could be safely driven. Upon inspection it is clear that the visor hinge / ball joint is poorly designed, with a plastic tube less than 0. 5mm thick holding the entire visor and forces while it is manipulated by the driver. It is a matter of time before they all fail. While passenger side failure is less dangerous, driver side is very dangerous and startling if occurs while driving. A google search demonstrated this to be a common problem experienced by many hyundai owners of various models. This is a defective part design, and vehicles should be recalled so manufacturer can replace the visors with better designed versions.
