NHTSA recall 16V232000
Air Bags · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: In these vehicles, the driver's frontal air bag may be missing a chemical enhancer required for the second stage air bag deployment, resulting in the second stage not deploying in certain crashes. The primary stage will deploy as intended.
Why it matters: An air bag that does not inflate increases the risk of injury.
The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag module, free of charge. The recall began on May 5,2016.
