Details

What's wrong: The side curtain air bag (scab) mounting bolts may interfere with and damage the air bags during deployment.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, if the air bags become damaged during deployment they may not inflate properly, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will install a protective cover over the scab installation bolts, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2018.
