Hyundai has always had terrible labor practices, so much so that in 2012 a worker at one of their Korean plants set himself on fire in protest

Kinda like how the Pallisades and Tellurides set themselves on fire too!

20, 21, and 22 models can randomly catch fire.

Lots more than that. I have a 2015 Hyundai Tuscan and got a recall letter that told me it can catch fire. They said they were working on a fix and in the meantime to not park in any garages. Took them a long time to send the next letter saying I could take it to a dealership to get it fixed.

Dump that car as soon as possible.

I had a 2013 that threw a rod at 50k miles on a busy highway and I got off easy compared to most people who had full engine fires.

Yep we are going car shopping soon. This thing is trash. It’s been in the shop 6 times since summer for unrelated things. Never buying a Hyundai again.

You have a Hyundai and don't even know the model?

Lots of downvotes from people who own a "Tuscan"

Oh wow that recall notice is right around the time she got it. Are car dealers obligated in any way to disclose that information before the sale? Seems like relevant information

If she doesn’t have a 4 pin tow harness she’s fine. Otherwise it needs to be looked at.

If she bought her car last summer, perhaps she bought the 2023 model? That one isn’t part of the recall (so far, I guess, maybe?), so her car would be ok.
