passenger side we've been replacing for a while now. parts were relatively easy to get for that. But there's a drivers side one for E46 and E39.. and now it expanded to all the models above.

I just got a recall letter for my Gen Coupe.
Quote:
The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is recalled because the driveshaft can fall off the car. Over 10,000 model year 2013-2015 Genesis Coupes are affected, all equipped with manual transmissions.
Hyundai says the driveshaft can disconnect because the differential and suspension crossmember may not have been properly aligned during assembly. The automaker says the bolts that hold the differential can loosen if the differential and suspension crossmember aren't aligned.
Loose bolts could cause the rear differential to loosen from its mounting position and cause the driveshaft to separate from the differential. If that occurs, forward movement will be stopped and the car will coast to a stop.
