Time for all the haters to start bashing another Asian company.

Actually, this is a great marketing coup d'état for Hyundai. By acknowledging a problem at the forefront, it will instill alot more confidence in the product than by sweeping it under the carpet like some unnamed auto manufacturers.

Good for Hyundai, enforcing a sales halt without government intervention.

Huh? Hyundai initiated the recall...kudos to them for that, regardless of whether the news had anything to with it.
