Description of the problem	At approximately 75,000 miles, the parking brake began to fail. This is a serious safety issue considering that the vehicle utilizes a manual transmission and will roll if parked on any inclined surface. This issue was addressed under the nhtsa campaign id number 12v567000, but only included replacement of the parking brake linkage and cable (the wording in campaing 12v567000 states that dealers "will replace the rear brake caliper assemblies free of charge"). For this particular vehicle, the car was serviced in 2013 to include parking brake linkage and cable replacement under that campaign. There was no particular problem with the parking brake at that time. In may of 2015, the parking brake began to fail with the exact symptoms issued in the initial recall. However, both rear brake calipers completely failed and the parking brake would no longer engage. Hyundai would not replace the calipers free of charge because the recall, according to them, did not include the brake calipers in their entirety. I believe this is a failure by hyundai to properly address the reason for the parking brake failure. Each caliper costs somewhere between $250-$300, so consumers will currently find themselves paying approximately $800 in parts and labor to fix the problem. Because i was dissatisfied with hyundai and their failure to replace parts that are linked to a known recall/safety issue, i had my car towed from the dealership (the brake calipers locked up after mechanics at the dealership inspected them and the car was no longer driveable) to a private mechanic to fix the problem.

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.
