Default 2000 Hyundai Accent Recalls

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 00V096000

Component: VISUAL SYSTEMS:WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGEIVOT RIVE ASSEMBLY
Manufacturer: HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Mfg. Campaign #: 038
Year: 2000
Make: HYUNDAI
Model: ACCENT
Potential Number of Units Affected: 16264
Manufactured From: NOV 1999 To: JAN 2000
Year of Recall: '00
Type of Report: Vehicle
Summary:

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The protective rubber boot which covers the ball joint connection between the windshield wiper motor drive arm and the windshield wiper drag link can stick to the surface of the drive arm. If the rubber boot sticks and the wiper motor is turned on, binding of the interface between the drive arm and drag link results, causing the ball joint connection to disengage.

If the connection disengages, the windshield wipers are inoperative. Inoperative windshield wipers can contribute to reduced visibility during inclement weather.

Dealers will replace the protective rubber boot and will lubricate the new protective rubber boot where it contacts the drive arm. Owner notification began April 17, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
