Not to be rude, but read the letter. I hadn't heard about it (my
elantra's older) but read it and let us know, or at least post any links
or case #s so that the rest of us can read it for ourselves.

If it's the same one I got, it's about a malfunction with the
passenger's side seat sensor for the airbags. In some cases, it will not
recognize smaller adults, particularly if they don't sit squarely in the
seat. Hyundai is offering a re-programming solution, but it may cause
problems with child seats not being recognized as such. There is
apparently no ideal solution to the issue.
I plan to object to the exhorbitant 1.2 million dollar attorney's fees
sought in the suit.

Good for you. I keep wondering when people will wake up and smell the
coffee and realize that the only winners in a class action are the lawyers.

Re: Elantra Lawsuit?
It was an odd letter/agreement.
The lawyers get more than a million dollars.
And you the consumer? Hyundai will reprogram your sensor for free.
Which they have been doing. I think the class action suit specifies a
loaner car during the service. And nothing else that they weren't
already doing - there was a recall that updated the sensor software....
