The bikes were sold between July 2009 and May 2010 for approximately $1,400. The frames were sold seperately for $400. They are black and yellow and have "Redline" written on the frame of the bicycle.

2010 Hyundai Tuscon Recalled Because of Airbag Problems

The Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced that Hyundai has recalled their 2010 Hyundai Tucson crossover for an airbag defect.  Only 515 of the SUV's were recalled but this is a very serious issue because the defect can cause the air bag to deploy in certain circumstances where it is not supposed to which can cause serious injuries to someone especially a child or diminutive passenger. 

The 2010 Hyundai Tucson crossover has a problem where occupants weighing more than 240 lbs can cause the passive occupant detection system (PODS) to illuminate the airbag warning light.  This can cause the airbag to deploy even if the airbag has been deactivated posing a risk to those who may be easily harmed by an airbag.

If you are having an issue with your 2010 Hyundai Tucson crossover you can contact Hyundai at 800.633.5151 or the NHTSA at 888.325.4236 to discuss having the vehicle repaired free of charge.  Also, if you or a loved one was injured by this recalled vehicle you will want to inform the NHTSA and a car defect lawyer in your area.

Death Toll Due to Sudden Acceleration Problems with Toyota Vehicles Released by NHTSA

According to an article in the Los Angeles Times the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released the death toll number due to Toyota sudden acceleration problems which was based on complaints that they have received so far from consumers.  Most complaints filed were filed by surviving family member and ranged from vehicles that were included on the recall list to cars that Toyota still has not admitted need to be recalled. 

If you own a Toyota, Lexus or Pontiac that has been recalled for a sudden acceleration issue it is very important that you bring it to the dealership to have the potentially life threatening sudden acceleration problem fixed.  If you purchased the car in New York and still currently reside in New York arrangements have been made so that you do not have to worry about being without a vehicle while yours is being repaired.  You will either be given a rental vehicle or will be able to use taxi service at Toyota's expense.

One thing that Toyota, Lexus and Pontiac owners must keep in mind with all of the recently recalled vehicles is that consumers are complaining that Toyota still has not recalled all of the necessary vehicles.  Consumers have come to this conclusion because either themselves or a loved one have been injured, experienced damages to their vehicle or have died because of vehicles that have not been recalled by Toyota for sudden acceleration issues and brake issues.  If you are in doubt as to whether or not your vehicle has been recalled contact Toyota to find out but if you are experiencing issues with your vehicles and it has not been involved on the recall list you will want to contact the NHTSA to file a report against Toyota.  If you have already been involved in an accident and have been injured or a family member has been killed because of a Toyota related defect finding out your rights against the Toyota manufacturer will greatly benefit you.  Toyota is liable for the negligence which has caused injuries or death because of their defective vehicles.
