Details

What's wrong: The wiring harness for the right front seat belt tension sensor may sustain damage after repeated use of the seat belt. If the seat belt tension sensor wiring becomes damaged the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash necessitating front air bag deployment.

Why it matters: The seat occupant is at an increased risk of injury should the air bag not deploy as intended.

The fix: Hyundai will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on February 22, 2010.
