88,943 vehicles recalled

2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE -- Hyundai is recalling 88,943 MY 2007-2008 Hyundai 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 ratings (GAWR).

Overloading your vehicle may adversely affect handling and braking and may cause tire damage, resulting in tire failure and a crash without warning.

Hyundai will mail corrected certification labels along with the instructions to the affected owners. The customer will have the option for dealers to install the label free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during August 2008. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
