VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S):
Hyundai/Tucson 2010
MANUFACTURER: Hyundai-KIA America Technical Center Inc.
MFR'S REPORT DATE: February 12, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V061000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A
COMPONENT: Air Bags: Frontal: Sensor/Control Module
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 515
SUMMARY:
Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2010 Tucson vehicles. Properly seated adult right front seat passengers weighing over approximately 240
pounds cause the Passive Occupant Detection System (PODS) module program to illuminate the "AIR BAG" Warning Lamp.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the "AIR BAG" Warning Lamp is illuminated, the passenger air bag will deploy if a crash of sufficient force to require front air bag deployment is
experienced, and will not be deactivated if a child is seated in the right front seating position, which may increase the risk of injury to a child front
passenger.
REMEDY:
Dealers will reprogram the PODS module free of charge. Hyundai anticipates owners will be notified by telephone and/or by mail during February
2010. Owners may contact Hyundai Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-633-5151.
NOTES:
Hyundai recall No. 095. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
