2006 HYUNDAI Recall Information

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

Recall information is vital to keeping yourself and family safe. I regularly check the Recalls on my vehicles to make sure I have the best equipment on my car. If you have a Recall on your vehicle, it’s critical that you contact your local dealership and have them service your vehicle. Not all vehicles are covered in a Recall, when you call your dealer, they will tell you if your vehicle is covered. I may not have all the latest Recall information listed below (it can change day to day) but I know someone who does… Alldata has up to date recall information for your vehicle, as well as repair information and technical servrice bulletins. If you don’t know what a TSB is, click hear to learn more.
