Description of the problem	i was backing my vehicle up, which was parked in front of my house, and i noticed what sounded like a cv joint noise from the left front wheel area. The problem has recurred several times since but the latest and loudest was after i had the vehicle inspected at the dealership on 03/21/2015. The noise took on an even louder sound that was more of a clunk like a front control arm. Therefore, i contacted hyundai usa for a detailed explanation of tsb 10055854 but they will not go into any specifics about what the component(s) are in this campaign. I feel that this is an intentional cover up so that the nhtsa will not investigate and require a safety recall. Vin [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
