What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

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.

How to Get This Fixed

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.
