Recall for undercoating done Jan. 2016 (tt1). On 11/1/17, while driving on a town road, the rear right trailing arm fell off causing the car to swerve abruptly off the road due to extreme rust on the sub frame. This also happened with my 2002 santa fe and was covered under the salt belt corrosion class action settlement. Hyundai is aware there is still a problem, but the undercoating recall does not work and this is still a safety hazard. My car was towed to a repair facility on Nov. 1, and I am still waiting to hear back from Hyundai as to my next steps to get this repaired.
