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.
