Description of the problem	I was driving my 2011 sonata at a slow speed in a parking lot when i heard the sound of metal hitting the ground underneath my vehicle. I walked out to find a fractured front passenger side spring coil which had completely snapped off. This could have been catastrophic had this happened on the busy interstate which is where i was headed. I realize many others have had this issue with the 2011 sonata in "salt belt states". I am in wisconsin. This defect is referenced under hyundai recall 133, though i, like many others, have a vin that is not included in the recall, despite the numerous incidents of this happening with vehicles outside of the recall vin range. Clearly these are not isolated defects. This is a potentially catastrophic manufacturing defect that could easily puncture a tire and result in death if it occurs at a high speed. It is unacceptable for this problem to be ignored by hyundai. The range of vins affected by this defect is likely much broader than hyundai has taken responsibility.

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.
