A spate of not-great news for
Hyundai Veloster owners today, as the plucky hatchback is the subject of not one, but two recall notices from the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The first recall is about an issue with the 2012 Veloster's sunroof assembly that we
first reported on last October. A NHTSA probe into shattering panoramic glass has resulted in a recall affecting some 13,500 units that may have glass panels that were weakened during installation at the factory. Said glass may break while the vehicle is in motion.
The second recall specifies a problem with the parking brake in 4,490 manual-transmission cars, also from the 2012 model year. The parking brakes in these cars may pick up moisture and road grime, which could, in turn, cause the brake components to bind and not fully engage.
In both cases, Hyundai will notify owners of recalled vehicles and inspect and replace defective parts free of charge. Both recalls will begin during January 2013.
Scroll below for both official recall notices from NHTSA.
