Issue :
Hyundai Auto Canada is conducting an extended warranty campaign for certain vehicles as water could enter the horn assembly and cause the horn's electrical contacts to corrode. As a result, the horn may not work properly or at all.
Safety risk:
A horn that doesn't work properly could prevent a driver from warning others of a danger and create an unsafe situation.
Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Hyundai advises you to test the horn regularly. Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to contact a dealership if your horn doesn't work properly. Hyundai will provide an extended warranty of 10 years/200 000 km to replace the horn for free if it fails.

Issue:

Safety Risk:
These small errors do not affect vehicle safety.
