The traction battery on my ioniq 2020 went bad after 3 months. The diagnostic panel warned me of an electric issue and the range dropped drastically. The dealer changed the battery no questions asked. My vin wasn't part of the recall. I wonder if the recall should have included a broader range of vehicles.

8-1-2020 hyundai motor america letter received that original window sticker had incorrect information and is not equipped with blind spot and rear cross traffic collision avoidance assist systems; however these vehcles are equipped with blind spot and rear cross traffic collision warning systems. How many other buyers were misled by the window sticker and sold a car with more extensive safety equipment than what they actually received? Should hyundai recall the vehicle to install the devices as advertised and sold or reimburse the buyers for the difference and the lesser value car sold? My car was stationary and no malfunction known yet, but lack of assist function makes the car less safe than represented when sold to me. The deficiency, error notice letter is not dated and does not offer to correct the misrepresentation or refund the cost of installing this system, and does not offer to install it after their error.
