If you believe that your vehicle has a
defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying HYUNDAI MOTOR
AMERICA. If NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open an investigation,
and if it finds that a safety defect exists in
a group of vehicles, it may order a recall
and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA
cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or
HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-
327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to
http://www.safercar.gov; or write to:
Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. You
can also obtain other information about
motor vehicle safety from
http://www.safercar.gov.

Any claim or dispute you may have relat-
ed to your vehicle's warranty or the duties
contemplated under the warranty, includ-
ing claims related to the refund or partial
refund of your vehicle's purchase price
(excluding personal injury or product lia-
bility claims), shall be resolved by binding
arbitration. Binding arbitration shall be
administered by and through the National
Arbitration Forum (NAF) or the American
Arbitration Association (AAA), under the
Code of Procedure of the entity you
select.
You will not be responsible for paying fil-
ing and hearing fees above $275.00. All
other arbitration costs shall be borne by
Hyundai Motor America. You are not
responsible to pay any of the costs
Hyundai incurs.
This Binding Arbitration Agreement shall
not deprive you of any remedies avail-
able to you under applicable law. The
parties are waiving their right to seek
remedies in court, including the right to a
jury trial. This Binding Arbitration Agreement shall
be governed by and interpreted under
the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec-
tions 1-16. Judgment upon any award
may be entered in any court having juris-
diction.
You may revoke this Arbitration
Agreement by (1) written notice or (2)
