2002 hyundai elantra recall never received until 3/1/10. Wheel fell off and went in ditch. Had to have towed to garage and hyundai refused payment of towing bill as towing was not included in recall. How was i supposed to get it to the garage. Thank goodness no one was hurt; it could have been a serious accident. *tr
