Hyundai has announced the recall of its Sonata cars-due to snag in the door lock- numbering 47000 spread in Europe and the US. However, the company sees no direct impact of this recall in the domestic market in India. The problem in the door lock is freak instance ever since its inception into the market but Hyundai voluntarily acts upon the problem to satisfy the customers.
In India the variant Sonata Transform is sold and hence there is no panic on the sale impact. Hyundai’s recall is meant for YF Sonata marketed in the US and South Korea. the company has wisely repaired the fault by fitting modified parts of the models meant for Korea and the US. The net dismay, out of this recall, will be for YF Sonatas from Korea (46000 units) and the ones made in Alabama, (1300 units).
