What is wrong

The risk

Improper side curtain air bag deployment increases the risk of injury during a crash.

Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed beginning March 13, 2026. Final remedy owner letters will be mailed in phases, beginning in June 2026 and expected to continue through December 2026. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-[removed].
