The problem

Due to a bonding issue with the sunroof wind deflector, the sunroof panel on the affected vehicles may detach while driving.
The risk
If the sunroof detaches from the vehicle it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will repair the wind deflector anchor plate, free of charge. The recall began December 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 152.
