There's a reall on this vehicle that I just purchased the description says: Front coil spring protector installation how can this issue be resolved" this issue should been taking care of and reported to you guys but obviously it hasn't. so I need to know is it still available to be free of charge or do I have to come out of pocket to get this repaired? or can I still go to a hyandai dealer for free repairs" I'm not sure of the notification date. So in the box below I'll put this year and date

The contact had a 2001 Hyundai sante. The contact was driving 35 mph down a 60 degree incline when the 4 wheel drive shifted out of gear on its own. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a guard rail and light pole. The seatbelt did not lock and the air bags did not deploy. The contact is concerned about the safety risk since the seat belts and air bags malfunctioned when the crash occurred. The failure mileage was 154,000.
