2006–2008 Hyundai Sonata Recall

Issued April 28, 2008
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles equipped with an advanced airbag system, the Occupant Classification System (OCS), installed in the right front seat of the vehicle, may misclassify a small stature adult as a child and deactivate the passenger airbag. This would cause the right front airbag to not inflate in a crash that merits airbag deployment, and may result in injury to the right front seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will verify that the OCS does not recognize a properly seated adult occupant. After verification, the right front seat cushion assembly will be removed and reprogrammed.
