HYUNDAI STATEMENT REGARDING COLLISION REPAIR PARTS
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., 07/22/2010
Hyundai Motor America does not support the use of aftermarket, imitation or recycled collision repair parts. The use of such parts or other non-original Hyundai equipment for the repair of any collision-damaged vehicle may negatively affect crashworthiness and occupant safety during a collision therefore is not supported by Hyundai. Additionally, Hyundai does not support the use or re-use of components removed or recycled from an existing collision-damaged vehicle.
Hyundai vehicles and Hyundai Genuine Parts are designed and manufactured to meet Hyundai’s exact engineering specifications and to protect vehicle occupants in collisions. Genuine Hyundai Parts, including all elements of Hyundai’s air bag occupant restraint systems, are crash-tested to ensure they meet the U.S. government’s rigid collision safety and crash protection standards. Genuine Hyundai Parts work in concert to ensure occupant protection, vehicle integrity, and proper airbag deployment.

September 9, 2010 at 1:24 pmHydundai is doing the right thing. Aftermarket parts today can be defaulted or not made to the exact quota as the factory does it, which could mean the part might not fit to the exact dimensions or it might not be made as safe as the factory would make it due to using a cheaper material or a material that isn’t quite as strong. Some vehicle manufactures might not support the part that you put on and if you get in an accident insurance might not pay for it or might not be liable for the damage to the aftermarket part.
