Hyundai Recalls 2010 Tucson CUVs

Posted on by

Hyundai is recalling their 2010 Tucson crossover utility vehicles (CUV) manufactured between February 2010 to April 2010 because the rear reflector assemblies fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards. The reduced visibility from the rear of the vehicle could increase the risk of a rear end collision. The recall will begin in June, where dealers will replace the rear reflector assemblies free of charge. Owners wanting more information on the recall can contact Hyundai’s customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.
