Hyundai Recalls 63,000 Cars For Airborne Sunroofs

Hyundai is recalling nearly 63,000 midsize cars in the U.S. because the panoramic glass sunroofs can come loose and fly into traffic.

The recall covers certain Sonata midsize cars from the 2015 and 2016 model years, including gas-electric hybrids.

The South Korean automaker says in government documents that a wind deflector anchor plate in front of the sunroof wasn’t bonded properly to the car. A loose deflector can detach and interfere with the roof as it closes. If the owner tries to force the roof closed, it can fly off.

I would have thought this would be a good post to have the 009-branded title "who should be afraid"

Love the irony. I'm trying to imagine the pane of glass flying off. Not good. I wouldn't want a fancy top on any car because once out of warranty when the mechanism fails and they all do sooner or later, the fix will likely be expensive.
