Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Hyundai is recalling certain 2011-2013 Sonata and 2011-2012 Sonata Hybrid vehicles because the air bag control unit may short circuit during a crash, which would prevent the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying. This creates an increased risk of injury to vehicle occupants in crashes that would otherwise trigger these safety systems. The recall affects a total of 580,058 vehicles.
To remedy this issue, Hyundai will notify owners and dealers will install an external wire filter kit at no charge. The recall began October 15, 2018. Affected consumers should contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 to arrange service, referencing recall number 174.
