Hyundai Motor America does not support the use of aftermarket, imitation or recycled collision repair parts. The use of such parts or other non-original Hyundai equipment for the repair of any collision-damaged vehicle may negatively affect crashworthiness and occupant safety during a collision therefore is not supported by Hyundai. Additionally, Hyundai does not support the use or re-use of components removed or recycled from an existing collision-damaged vehicle.

Hyundai vehicles and Hyundai Genuine Parts are designed and manufactured to meet Hyundai’s exact engineering specifications and to protect vehicle occupants in collisions. Genuine Hyundai Parts, including all elements of Hyundai’s air bag occupant restraint systems, are crash-tested to ensure they meet the U.S. government’s rigid collision safety and crash protection standards. Genuine Hyundai Parts work in concert to ensure occupant protection, vehicle integrity, and proper airbag deployment.

Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co. of Korea. Hyundai vehicles are distributed throughout the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced through about 800 dealerships nationwide. All Hyundai vehicles sold in the U.S. are covered by the Hyundai Assurance program, which includes the 5-year/60,000-mile fully transferable new vehicle warranty, Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and 5-years of complimentary Roadside Assistance.
