Hyundai sonata 2006 is a vehicle that unfortunately had to be recalled so many times due to different technical problems that were endangering the safety and the driving comfort of the passenger. but the fact that the car was recalled these many times is not something out of the ordinary as there are a lot of other producers that are recalling the cars that are already sold in order to fix different technical issues. The Sonata that was released in 2006 as well as the other Sonata’s that were released before or after were recalled for more than one issue affecting each time only a part of the vehicle on circulation.

The biggest number of vehicles that were recalled was because there was a problem at the service break, a real serious issue that had affected more than half a million vehicles. This happened in May 2009. Then another big number of vehicles up to half a million had been recalled in service because there were some problems with the air bag. These two recalls both had an impact on the safety of the car, so they were more than necessary and important to be fixed in the shortest time possible. Other recalls referred mainly to different problems to the exterior lighting. For this issue there were several recalls over the years and each time there were involved some thousands of vehicles. For the exterior lighting the biggest number of vehicles that had to go into service was in 2009 when almost 17 000 vehicles were found with this problem. The cars had to also be taken in service and from the owner in order to fix problems like the front seat that had problems with the recliner and with the labels. In these two cases almost 100 000 cars were in service altogether.
