    According to US safety regulators, the recall will cover three models which displayed unique issues in the US. The issues, which range from electrical, brake, and suspension malfunctions, were posted at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website.

    Out of the three recalls, the biggest involved 225,000 Santa Fe SUVs that are manufactured from 2001-2006. The vehicle needed a replacement of its front coil springs which are found to be susceptible to rusting and cracking when driven in states that have cold weather. The springs can suffer from a fracture and can cause the car to crash if a contact is made with the car tire.

    The Santa Fe SUVs was sold in cold places where the roadways are filled with clear snow and ice. Clearing the roads would need the use of salt. It should be noted that road salt can cause the coil spring to rust. The coil spring with rust could fracture and puncture the vehicle's tire which increases its risk to commit a crash.
