Summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling 258 vehicles including 2025 Tucson, 2025-2026 Santa Cruz, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, and 2026 Genesis GV70 models. The side curtain air bags in these vehicles may not have been installed properly, which can prevent them from deploying as intended during a crash. Authorized dealers will reinstall the air bags correctly at no cost to the owner.
