Hyundai and its Genesis luxury arm have recalled 273 vehicles because their side curtain airbags may not deploy properly in the event of an accident.
Recalled models include some, but not all, examples of the:
- 2025 Hyundai Tucson
- 2025-2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz
- 2025-2025 Hyundai Santa Fe
- 2025-2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
- 2026 Genesis GV70
The company tells federal safety officials that the airbags may have been installed incorrectly at the factory, which could “result in abnormal airbag deployment during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.”
Dealers will inspect the airbags and reinstall them if necessary.
By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
Automakers recall many cars to fix safety defects, sometimes more than once. While automakers try to reach every owner to ask them to bring the vehicle in for repair, they rarely get them all. Millions of vehicles on American roads need free recall repairs. To find out if your car is one of them, check the easy VIN tool at our recall center.
