JUNE 2008 --
Hyundai is recalling 88,943 MY 2007-2008
Santa Fe vehicles equipped with P235/60R18
tires. These vehicles fail to comply with
the labeling requirements of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire
Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles." The
black certification label affixed to the
driver's side center pillar, incorrectly
lists the gross axle weight rating (GAWR).
Overloading the vehicle may adversely affect
handling and braking which could cause tire
damage, resulting in tire failure and a
crash without warning. Hyundai will mail
corrected GAWR label along with the
instructions to the affected owners. The
customer will have the option for dealers to
install the label. The recall is expected to
begin during August 2008. Owners may contact
Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. 08V272
