Hyundai identified that certain side impact sensors may have been misassembled during manufacturing. These sensors are responsible for helping determine when airbags should deploy during a collision.
If a side impact sensor does not meet Hyundai’s intended specifications, the timing of airbag deployment during certain crash conditions could be affected. In some situations, this could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
According to Hyundai, there have been six reports in the United States related to the recall condition, but no confirmed crashes, injuries, fires, or fatalities connected to this issue in the U.S. or Canada as of April 20, 2026.
