AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer
Hyundai Motor America
What Happened
The air bag system in your Accent is designed to detect if a child seat is in the front passenger seat, especially in very cold temperatures. In your 2015 model, the system might not work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the system fails, the air bag could deploy while a child is in the seat, which could increase the risk of serious injury to the child.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will update the software controlling the air bag system, free of charge. This is a crucial repair that you should schedule as soon as possible to ensure your child's safety.

Original — What Happened
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015 Accent vehicles manufactured September 15, 2014, to February 10, 2015. In very cold temperatures, the occupant detection system (ODS) may not be able to determine if a child restraint seat is in the front passenger seat.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the ODS fails to detect that the seat is occupied by a child restraint seat, the front air bag will not be deactivated and, in the event of a crash necessitating front air bag deployment, the air bag deployment could cause increased risk of injury to the occupant in the child restraint seat.
Original — Remedy
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will correct ODS software, free of charge. The recall began on June 4, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 129.
