Oddly enough I cannot find any mention of it on their site. Tried both car and tire searches.

I signed up for automated notifications from NHTSA and here is what was emailed to me yesterday.

I bet Hyundai will replace the recalled tires with Michelin or Continental tires and call it a day. So, the option of getting your recalled tires replaced and waiting for your tire sap out may not be possible.
