Korean company Hyundai will recall 50 thousand Santa Fe crossovers for repairs due to problems with airbags. reports motor1.com. We’re talking about cars sold in the USA.
It is stated that due to wiring problems, airbags can deploy unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. In some cases, they may not work at all in the event of an accident. A total of 40.1 thousand Hyundai Santa Fe cars with internal combustion engines and 9.6 thousand hybrids were affected by the recall campaign.
According to the publication, the problem is related to the wiring harness that runs along the floor and can rub against the seat over time. This can cause the airbags to be activated or, conversely, deactivated. We already know of a case where the curtain in the rear seat opened by itself.
Dealers will notify owners that they need to come to a service center to inspect the wiring. Hyundai technicians will check the wiring harness and secure it so that it does not touch the seats.
