What's wrong, in plain English

Some Hyundai Elantra, Santa Fe, and Sonata vehicles may have a windshield that was not properly bonded to the vehicle during manufacturing. If the vehicle is in a crash, the windshield could detach. A windshield that comes loose during a crash increases the risk of injury.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2. Contact your Hyundai dealer at 1-855-371-9460 to schedule a free repair. 3. Dealers will remove and reinstall the front windshield at no cost.

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 21V00M000.
