The 1985 Sonata was the facelifted version of the Stellar; it was sold in Canada as the Stellar (I remember that article from a Popular Mechanics magazine at the time). That body didn't make it to the US (as per Car & Driver), but the next generation (called Sonata around the world) did for the 1989 model year.

No. The Stellar was RWD. The Sonata was, until this year when an AWD model became available, only FWD. Hardly a stellar recall, BTW ;)
