Your rear subframe has rusted severely, causing the lower control arm bracket to deteriorate and fail. The lower control arm can separate from the vehicle while driving, which is a serious safety hazard. This issue appears to affect multiple Tucsons from this model year. The repair will require replacing the corroded subframe and lower control arm assembly.

The rear subframe under your Tucson has completely rusted out, causing the rear end to sway violently and making the vehicle unsafe to drive. You discovered that Hyundai issued a recall for this exact problem on certain model years, and other Tucson owners have experienced the same issue. When you took it to a Hyundai dealership, they refused to cover the repair under warranty despite acknowledging the problem. Fixing this will likely require replacement of the entire rear subframe assembly and any damaged suspension components attached to it.

Your rear suspension crossmember steel appears to be showing signs of the problem covered under recall CAMP113. The owner is requesting this vehicle be included in that recall program and is concerned about safety.

Your rear subframe has rusted through, even though it was treated for rust in March 2017. By October 2019, the rust had gotten so bad your vehicle failed its inspection. You believe this is a known issue affecting other Hyundai models, but Hyundai declined to help since your vehicle wasn't included in a recall for this specific problem. The repair will likely require replacing or extensively treating the rusted rear subframe.

Your car's subframe has developed severe rust and holes that an inspection shop deemed unsafe to drive. This structural damage was not caught during a previous Virginia inspection in June 2018, or during routine oil changes and tire work at a Kia dealership between 2018 and 2019. Repairing this will likely require welding or replacement of the rusted subframe components.
