NHTSA Campaign 12V354000

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE

Issued by Hyundai Motor Company · Reported Jul 25, 2012 · 199,118 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured from April 19, 2006, through July 7, 2008. The occupant classification system (OCS) may need recalibration to accurately detect small statured adults.

Consequence

Improper classification or detection may cause the front passenger airbag not to deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger.

Remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will update the classification software free of charge. The safety recall began on September 7, 2012. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
