What You May Be Entitled To
Hyundai May Owe You:
💰
Full Refund
Your complete purchase price back — purchase price, taxes, registration, finance charges, and incidental costs. Every dollar you paid in, paid back out.
🏦
Cash Settlement
A monetary settlement for the defect, inconvenience, and time lost. If Hyundai is found to have willfully failed to comply, civil penalties up to 2x damages may apply.
🚗
Vehicle Replacement
A replacement vehicle of equal or greater value — a new car with no fire recall and no open safety defect. You shouldn't have to keep driving a vehicle Hyundai itself has flagged as unsafe.

Under Song-Beverly § 1794(d), Hyundai pays your attorney's fees if we prevail. You pay nothing — before, during, or after your case.
