Hyundai Motor America: 2022-2023 Elantra Vehicles Recalled for Improperly Welded Air Bag Emblems

Summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling 247 vehicles, including 2022 Elantra N and 2022-2023 Elantra models, because the emblem on the driver's front air bag cover may not have been welded properly. This manufacturing defect can cause the emblem to detach when the air bag inflates during a crash. To fix this issue, Hyundai dealers will replace the entire driver's front air bag assembly at no cost to the owner.

Risk

If the air bag deploys, the improperly welded emblem can detach and become a projectile inside the cabin, potentially striking the driver or other passengers and increasing the risk of injury.

  3. If you have questions, contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 and reference recall number 234.
