NHTSA Campaign 11V472000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

What Happened

The clock spring in your vehicle's driver's air bag system helps the air bag deploy in a crash. Over time, it can wear out and develop high resistance, which could prevent the air bag from working properly.

Risk if Unfixed

If the clock spring fails, your air bag won't deploy in a crash. This means it won't be able to protect you, putting you at a higher risk of serious injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty clock spring with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety.
