    I received a recall notice in the mail today for my 2006 Sonata. It only
    effects cars built between 4/14/05 - 8/31/05. I know it is a federal law
    and all, but they recalled the car for the STICKERS ON THE SUN VISORS!!!

    LOL.

    And they went ahead and sent new stickers for me to attach myself if
    needed. Or I can schedule an appointment at my Hyundai dealer to have the
    stickers professionally installed :)

    It's always pissed me off that you buy a car that boasts a leather interior,
    with everything else nice and shiney, and then the government makes them put
    those aweful stickers on the visors like we're all idiots who need to see
    the warning everytime we sit in the car. What's next? A warning plastered
    on the dash that warns that some of the plastic components were made with
    peanut oil or that the sound system should not be operated by anyone under
    three because the knobs could come off and cause choking.

    How about and HUD that flashes "Warning: Driving or sitting in this
    vehicle may cause death." flashing across the windshield.

  4. Considering the newness of the car, I'd take a day off from work to have the
    dealer professionally install the stickers. If you screw it up, you may
    void the warranty. Just the prep of the sticker area can be a daunting
    task. Not to mention location. If you wrongly put them say, on the
    rearview mirror, it could lead to DEATH of the occupant. Damn, this is
    serious stuff.

    HAHAHAHA not to long ago got a recall for my 2003 Santa Fe because the door
    stickers that showed the tire pressure was wrong, they sent me the stickers
    to replace myself, instead I threw the stickers in the garbage and put the
    letter in the glove box and next time I was near the dealer I stopped showed
    him the recall letter and told him to fix it, he didnt have the stickers and
    had to order them from the factory, took them 2 weeks to get the stickers
    and call me when they were in. About 4 weeks later I was by the dealer again
    and stopped and had them put the stickers on .... RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF THE
    OLD ONES !!!!!!

    Actually, I'd be more concerned about the sticky crap left over from the
    sticker, than the educational content of the sticker. Hyundai originally
    told NHTSA that they would replace the sun visors if the sticker peeled of.
    They said they made production changes in the visor. Now they've back
    peddled and decided to just replace the stickers, and I guess if it peels
    off again, you get another sticker.

  12. If it comes off clean, it is staying off. IMO, they are useless and ugly
    anyway.
