Contact stated there was 20,800 miles on car and on 8-2-05 the service dealer told him the brake pads on the rear brakes worn out. Had new tires put on, and that was when they told him the calipers on the rear were corroded. The consumer received a notice from Hyundai on 8-4-05 stating that they recommended that the calipers be inspected every 15,000 miles . The consumer was going by his manual which stated every 30,000 miles. The warranty does not cover vehicle because he failed to have it inspected; but was going by owner's manual, and he just received the notice from Hyundai.
