NHTSA recall 12V352000
Air Bags · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: The curtain side airbags on these vehicles may inflate without deployment command due to an error during manufacturing.
Why it matters: The curtain airbag may inflate without deployment command and increase the risk of injury to occupants of the vehicle. Additionally, an unexpected deployment would be a significant driver distraction and would limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Hyundai dealers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the curtain side airbags free of charge. This recall began on August 31, 2012.
