Noticed an interesting website regarding car safety.
CARFAX Safety & Reliability Report - 2001 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS/GT
It was written that there's a defect at the brake tubes and gearbox mounting brackets!
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Defective part or component: [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Description: [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]On certain passenger vehicles, the brake tubes for the rear brakes can contact the steering gearbox mounting brackets. Contact between the rear brake tubes and the steering gearbox mounting brackets may result in rear brake tube wear and corrosion, increasing the risk of brake fluid leakage. Brake fluid leakage could result in reduced braking capability, which could result in a crash. Dealers will reposition the rear brake tubes, install brake tube clips, and apply anti-corrosion material to the rear brake tubes. Owner notification is expected to begin during December 2003. Owners should contact Hyundai of Puerto Rico at 1-800-633-5151.
