Component
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE
What Happened
The airbag control module in your Elantra is like a brain that helps decide when and how your driver's frontal airbag deploys. It relies on a sensor that measures your seat's position to get it just right.
Risk if Unfixed
If this sensor sends a wonky signal, your airbag might deploy with too much force if you're sitting in the front seat, which could injure you in a crash.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will update the airbag control module's software for free, so it gets the right signal from the sensor. This repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
