Hyundai Recalling MY 2006-2008 Sonata Models

A total of 393,714 MY 2006-2008 Hyundai Sonata vehicles are being recalled this month due to an issue with the passenger airbag system. In particular, the occupant classification system (OCS) in the right front seat which disables the air bag when it detects the presence of a child restraint system or small child may misclass a small stature adult as a child causing the air bag not to deployed in an accident.

The recall is expected to begin on or about May 26, 2008 with Hyundai dealers removing the right front seat cushion assembly and shipping it to an evaluation and repair facility.
