Hyundai Tucson Airbag Recall Over Potential Child Injury
A 2010 Hyundai Tucson recall involves potentially defective airbags, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). If a passenger in the front right passenger seat weighs more than approximately 240 pounds, this can cause the “passive occupant detection system” (PODS) to light up the air bag warning light. While that light is illuminated, the front passenger seat airbag will deploy in the event of a crash, and will not deactivate if a child is seated in the front passenger seat. This could cause an airbag injury to the child.
Hyundai Azera Defective Seatbelt Recall
Seat belt defect could prevent airbag deployment in a crash
A Hyundai Azera recall affects 65,226 models, years 2006 through 2009. Wiring on the passenger’s side front seatbelt may become damaged after repeated use. This could lead to damage of the seatbelt tension sensor wiring, causing the airbag to fail in the event of a crash.
