In certain areas, a vehicle’s underbody may exhibit corrosion due to road-salt usage. As a preventative measure, a cavity
wax coating is applied to the internal surfaces of underbody components and an undercoating spray is applied to exterior
surfaces of specified underbody components. The service campaign describes the procedure to perform this preventative
service on certain 2011 – 2016 Elantra’s (MD/UD).

Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and
the District of Columbia
Please note all dealers must perform this service campaign if vehicle comes in with an open campaign, even if
vehicle is no longer located in the listed states above.

Remedy Repair:

Apply undercoating spray and cavity wax to area indicated in TSB 22-01-089H to help prevent underbody corrosion caused by
road-salt usage in certain areas.

Customer Talk Tracks

Today we are going to perform a procedure to the underbody of your vehicle to help prevent corrosion to the chassis, brake
and suspension components from road salt commonly used to de-ice the road surfaces. If the salt is not removed by regular
car washes during the winter season, it can also eat away at the paint leaving the metal components without protection from
corrosion.

Get regular car washes! Spray your car down at least once a week in snowy conditions, and visit a car wash that
targets the undercarriage at least once a month and after winter storms. It may help to view this expense as a highly
recommended preventative vehicle maintenance, as it could save you money on costly damages later.
If your vehicle is over 8 years old, it needs some extra TLC. Several years of exposure to winter road salts can take its
toll. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), vehicle models made in 2007 and
earlier are especially susceptible to brake pipe corrosion due to salt exposure. Bring your vehicle in regularly to inspect
for corrosion and take notice of how your brake pedal feels in cold weather. Any changes could indicate a leak in the
brake system.
Use a synthetic wax to provide a protective barrier from harsh salt.
Once spring arrives, thoroughly detail the exterior so that salt doesn’t sit on the surface.
Prep for winter weather early next season, making sure to pay special attention to any chips or scrapes in the paint, as
those areas will be more susceptible to rust.
