hi
i was wondering if anyone in canada has had the exhaust manifold on a 1998
accent replaced by the dealer under a recall or letter campaign(as stated on
this forum and at the hyundai performance forums).
i get exhaust fumes in cab at startup but then they dissappear.i called the
local dealer but they said that there has never been a problem with cracking
manifolds here in canada but could not comment on the states.
thanks,jeff

 

i had a bad manifold on my 98 accent also.......paid for it out of my own
pocket

Make : HYUNDAI Model : ELANTRA Year : 2002
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 03V257000 Recall Date : JUL 03, 2003
Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES,
LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 312292
Summary:
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE REAR BRAKE TUBES
PASS BEHIND THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER. TWO STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING
BRACKETS ARE WELDED TO THE CROSSMEMBER. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), THE REAR BRAKE TUBES COULD CONTACT BOTH
STEERING GEARBOX MOUNTING BRACKETS. ON VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH
ABS, THE REAR BRAKE TUBES MAY CONTACT ONLY THE LEFT MOUNTING BRACKET.
CONTACT BETWEEN THE REAR BRAKE TUBES AND THE STEERING BRACKETS COULD CAUSE
WEAR AND CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE.
Consequence:
FLUID LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY INCREASING
THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPOSITION THE REAR BRAKE TUBES SO THEY DO NOT CONTACT
THE MOUNTING BRACKETS, INSTALL BRAKE TUBE CLIPS TO CONTROL THE LOCATION OF
THE REAR BRAKE TUBES, AND APPLY ANTI-CORROSION MATERIAL TO THE TUBES IN THE
AREAS WHERE CONTACT WITH THE MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY HAVE OCCURRED. OWNER
NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2003. OWNERS
SHOULD CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.
Notes:
HYUNDAI RECALL NO. 061. CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION’S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT
1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
