Hyundai recalls Sonatas

WASHINGTON — Hyundai is recalling more than 90,000 Sonata sedans to replace door handles that have caused cuts on the fingers of some motorists.

The South Korean automaker says the recall affects 2002 and 2003 model year Sonatas. The company says chrome plating on the interior handles could wear down and lead to cracking and sharp edges.

A Hyundai spokesman says a few customers have cut their fingers on the peeling chrome plating. Sonata owners can take their cars to a Hyundai dealership to have the handles repaired free of charge beginning in June.

Owners can call Hyundai at (800) 633-5151.
