Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a part in the trunk release latch could fail. If this happens, the emergency trunk release located inside the trunk compartment may not work properly. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it. 
Note: For the 2016 model year Sonata, only the Sonata Hybrid is affected by this recall. 

Safety Risk: 
If a person is closed inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the trunk latch assembly.

Issue: 
On certain 5-door cars, when the rear defroster is switched on, the rear glass may develop hot spots.

Safety Risk: 
A person that comes in contact with hot spots on the rear glass could have an increased risk of a burn injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their car to a dealer to have the rear glass replaced.

Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The center rear seat belt is equipped with a release mechanism that allows both the lap and the shoulder portion of the seat belt to be detached at the lower anchorage point by using a key-like tool. As the rear center seat is non-folding, this is contrary to the requirements of the standard. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy this non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
