The US division Hyundai has stepped in to help an i30 Sedan N owner after Californian authorities suspended the performance car's registration for more than four months, claiming its factory-fitted exhaust is “too loud” in certain drive modes.
The owner has since been in limbo as the state referee claimed his car could not be re-tested until he could prove Hyundai had exchanged the exhaust for a quieter one, despite the factory-fitted system being deemed legal by federal regulators.
Over the following two months, the owner was subsequently sent back-and-forth between the head office of Hyundai US and the dealer which sold him the i30 Sedan N, with a case manager from the car-maker eventually stepping in to find a resolution.
