Hyundai managed to remain relatively unscathed when it came to what I’m now referring to as “year of the recall,” but that changed this week. Hot off the heels of an 800,000-vehicle recall on Wednesday, the South Korean manufacturer is now issuing three additional recalls – for a host of issues – totaling more than 420,000 cars.
According to notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there have been no injuries or accidents associated with the three new recalls.
The first recall [PDF] focuses on about 225,000 model year 2001 to 2006 Sante Fe Crossover vehicles in which a rusted coil spring could fracture and puncture a tire, increasing the risk of a crash.

The second recall [PDF] involves 133,000 model year 2011 Sonata sedans because the car’s brake system master cylinder seal may be insufficient. If the seal doesn’t hold, the brake line could leak significant amounts of fluid, increasing the distance required to stop the vehicle.

Friday’s final recall [PDF] includes 61,000 model year 2007 to 2012 Veracruz crossovers with a possible oil leak. The leak make damage the vehicle’s alternator and charging system, which could cause full loss of power.
