NHTSA Campaign 13V115000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

What Happened

The side airbags in your Elantra are designed to protect you in the event of a side crash. A small bracket attached to the roof above your head can sometimes come loose and potentially hurt you if the airbag deploys.

Risk if Unfixed

If this bracket hits you during a crash, it could cause a serious cut or laceration. This is a real risk, especially if you're not wearing a seatbelt.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Hyundai dealer will add a special adhesive strip to the roof of your car to keep the bracket in place, completely free of charge. You'll get a notice in the mail, and it's essential to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
