NHTSA complaint #11195498, filed 2019-04, 66,715 miles“On 9/26/23 Recall #23V651000 was issued for my 2013 Hyundai Tucson. As of 2/9/24 the remedy is not available. How long does NHTSA give the auto maker to remedy the recall? Four months, to me, seems plenty of time to fix the problem. If you could let me know when the remedy should happen I would appreciate it. Thanks”
