• Randomly, infrequently when driving at highway speed with both hands on steering wheel get alarm and message to keep hands on steering wheel. I momentarily release and re-grip steering wheel and sound and message eventually disappear. No pattern as to when this occurs except at highway speeds.
• Recall number 1 from 2022 was just complete at Homer Skelton Hyundai in Olive Branch Mississippi on around [XXX]. Now this 2024 recall which is major involving over 30,000 vehicles as of today with the fire hazard is very very suspect. I received a letter 5 months ago and have not been able to drive

It appears this is NOT covered under the 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty and is only covered by the 5 yr/60,000 mile warranty. In my case, this pa
