Hyundai Recalls Over 47,000 Sonatas for Door Latch Fix

Although tiny by comparison to Toyota Motor Corp.'s (TM) recall of more than 8.5 million vehicles over faulty floor mats, accelerators and brakes, the Hyundai recall comes at a time of greater public sensitivity about the subject.
''To avoid a possible occurrence of the problem, Hyundai has been applying modified parts to some of its Korean and U.S. production models,'' the company said in a statement. Hyundai said it plans to carry out the voluntary recall next month.
