I believe it's routine that FIA investigates any crash that leads to injury. The other claim I find hard to believe.
On that picture I wonder why the A-pillar is snapped though.

I believe the A-pillar was cut by the rescue personnel. There was a Kenya Quest TV reporter who filmed everything from the accident occurring until the evacuation helicopter departed. Watching his video I saw one official carrying 'the jaws of life' towards the car.
Dirtfish on Neuville's suspension failure states Hyundai used refurbished parts that could have hidden damage:

Shouldn´t be a problem if they x-ray all parts. Don´t think they straighten up a bent part and reuse it...
Meaning they certainly could reuse old parts if they fullfill demands.
I think thats bogus. Why would they reuse parts that have a tendency to break every god damn rally?
