Hyundai Recalls More Than 50,000 Vehicles in North America
Hyundai Motor America is recalling over 50,000 vehicles in the United States due to a potential issue with the airbag system, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The concern involves the main floor wiring harness, which may rub against the passenger-side second-row bench seat assembly. This chafing could damage the wiring, potentially leading to the airbags deploying unintentionally or failing to deploy in the event of a crash. The recall specifically targets certain 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe HEV models.
In a separate recall, Hyundai is addressing a safety issue in over 12,000 vehicles from the 2010-2013 Genesis Coupe lineup. The problem lies with a return spring in the ignition lock switch, which may fracture. This malfunction can result in unintended vehicle movement if the car is started while in gear and the parking brake is not engaged.
Owners of affected vehicles are advised to contact their dealers for repair arrangements to prevent potential safety risks. As always, these steps are critical to maintaining the safety and functionality of the vehicles on the road.
