Hagens Berman Investigating Hyundai XG300 and XG350 Vehicles

Investigating Sub-Frame Defect in Vehicles Manufactured from 2001 to 2004
PHOENIX--(Business Wire)--
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro announced today that it has begun an investigation
into claims of sub-frame defects in Hyundai Motor (005380:KS) vehicles, models
XG300 and XG350 manufactured between 2001 and 2004. The law firm is
investigating claims that the sub-frame lacks corrosion protection that can lead
to premature decay.

The sub-frame sits under the engine between the front wheels, serves as the sole
steering support for the vehicles and anchors front suspension. The law firm is
also investigating reports that Hyundai knew of the problem and failed to
properly warn customers of potential problems or dangers with corrosion.

Reports indicate cars with sub-frame corrosion may experience high levels of
sub-frame deterioration, steering control arm separation and steering loss,
which can lead to accidents.

HBSS is investigating claims that the car`s sub-frame lacks sufficient and
effective drain holes that allow road materials and water to drain from the
frame, causing premature corrosion. The reported lack of drain holes also
prevents Hyundai from treating the sub-frame with anti-corrosion coating.

If you own a XG300 or XG350 manufactured between 2001 and 2004, you can contact
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro to discuss your options. Owners can e-mail
rob@hbsslaw.com or call (602) 840-5900 to discuss the investigation.
