“I purchased a 2000 Tiburon approx.june 2001 with 9600 miles already. Since I bought it I've been finding problems and I've taken it for service about 7 times already. They've replaced the lamp above on the roof that melted and broke once, they fixed the vessel glass 3 times already because it keeps cracking, while replacing the vessel glass (the glass that protects the odometer and other needless indicators) they broke my AC, heater, cruise control, rear defrost, front defrost. The seat belt was a recall. Until now the car is in the shop getting the AC, defrost problem fixed.”

On the paper work it was called a exhaust recall . A crack was found in the manifold and this was replaced. The dealership that I had bought my car from had not sent me any info on this recall.
