What's wrong, in plain English

The windshield and rear window on these vehicles may have been installed with the wrong type of primer. This can weaken the bond that holds the glass to the vehicle frame. Because the incorrect primer was used, the strength of that bond may decrease over time, meaning the glass is not held in place as securely as it should be as the vehicle continues to be driven and used.

What you should do

Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
Contact a Hyundai dealer, or call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460.
The front and rear glass will be replaced free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 18V305000.
