Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2006-2011 Hyundai Azera and 2006 Hyundai Sonata vehicles. Water may enter the Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module and result in an electrical short .
An electrical short within the ABS Module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay in the vehicle's main junction box to prevent the risk of an ABS short-circuit while the car is turned off, free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2018. Owners may call Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 172.

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 393,308 MY 2006-2008 SONATA VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN ADVANCED AIR BAG SYSTEM WHICH FEATURES AN OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT. THE PURPOSE OF THE OCS IS TO DISABLE THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT FRONT AIR BAG WHEN IT DETECTS THE PRESENCE OF A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM OR SMALL CHILD IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT. THE RIGHT FRONT AIR BAG IS DISABLED TO PREVENT INJURIES TO A CHILD THAT MAY RESULT FROM A RIGHT FRONT AIR BAG INFLATION DURING A CRASH.
MISCLASSIFICATION OF A SMALL STATURE ADULT AS A CHILD IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAY CAUSE THE RIGHT FRONT AIR BAG TO NOT INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MERITS AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO THE RIGHT FRONT OCCUPANT.
DEALERS WILL VERIFY THAT THE OCS DOES NOT PROPERLY RECOGNIZE A PROPERLY SEATED ADULT OCCUPANT. AFTER VERIFICATION, DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY AND SHIP IT TO AN EVALUATION AND REPAIR FACILITY. THIS FACILITY WILL EVALUATE AND REPAIR OR REPROGRAM THE SEAT CUSHION AND OCS AS NECESSARY. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT MAY 26, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.

AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY ON, EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIRS. PASSENGER SEATBELT FLICKERS ON OFF WHEN SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. LOOKING ON-LINE, THERE ARE SEVERAL 2006 SONATA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IF TRULY THE AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK THEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK. ENOUGH ON LINE TO SUGGEST THIS IS AN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ON-GOING.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR YEARS. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY TOLD ME THE DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE SENSOR WAS BAD. IT WOULD COST OVER $700 TO FIX. I THINK THE SENSOR IS BAD.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AGAIN, INFORMED BY DEALER THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH IT THE NEXT TIME I CAME IN. THE PARK LIGHTS WILL NOT ALWAYS SHUT OFF WHEN IN THE AUTO SETTING, SO FAR HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM TO SHUT OFF BY REPEATEDLY TURNING LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF. THE ABS/ESC LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND WILL USUALLY GO OFF AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING. NOW, THE TRUNK WILL NOT CLOSE AND THE TRUNK LIGHT IS ON CONTINUALLY AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT LIGHT WHEN HITTING THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON ON THE FOB, SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS SECURE AND SAFE TO ENTER AT NIGHT. THESE SITUATIONS ALL OCCUR EITHER WHEN PARKING OR IN THE CASE OF THE ABS/ESC WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND STATIONARY.

THIS CAR IS EXHIBITING THE SAME BEHAVIOR AS OTHER SONATA MODELS FROM 2006 THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT. THUS WITH THIS ISSUE, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD OCCUR CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL THAT SPANS ALL HYUNDAI SONATAS FROM 2006-2008. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS VERIFIED AS THE PROBLEM THIS CAR IS EXHIBITING AND THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THIS RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY RECALL THAT SHOULD BE COVERED AND I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION AS TO WHY THIS WOULD NOT BE PART OF THIS RECALL, WHEN THE CAR IS CLASSIFIED UNDER THE PARAMETERS OF THE RECALL AND IS EXHIBITING THE SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM THE RECALL COVERS. THIS OCCURS WHENEVER YOU TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MALFUNCTIONS. LUCKILY, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT AND THUS NO OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AIRBAG TO FAIL TO DEPLOY, BUT IF IT OCCURS, IT WILL DEFINITELY LEAD TO A HEFTY LAWSUIT.
