So this problem happened in June and the least expensive repair option was to order an unpainted door handle and have it installed, then paint it to match the car. Now, in March, another door handle has fallen off. I called Hyundai and they said sorry to hear, there are no recalls so you'll have to repair this yourself. This first door handle was the driver's rear door, a door that is hardly used. The one that broke this week is the front passenger door, a handle more often used, though not daily. I could handle one as an annoyance, but two is too much. On both these doors, the screw holding the handle to the car door has rusted, and as the rust has built up, it has cracked the part of the handle that is screwed into the door.
