Defect

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015 Accent vehicles manufactured September 15, 2014, to February 10, 2015. In very cold temperatures, the occupant detection system (ODS) may not be able to determine if a child restraint seat is in the front passenger seat.

Consequence

If the ODS fails to detect that the seat is occupied by a child restraint seat, the front air bag will not be deactivated and, in the event of a crash necessitating front air bag deployment, the air bag deployment could cause increased risk of injury to the occupant in the child restraint seat.

Corrective Action

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will correct ODS software, free of charge. The recall began on June 4, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 129.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Front-Seat Passengers

NHTSA reports one Air Bag recall for certain 2015 Hyundai Accent vehicles built from September 15, 2014, through February 10, 2015. In very cold temperatures, the occupant detection system may not recognize a child restraint in the front passenger seat. If that happens, the front air bag may not deactivate as intended, increasing the risk of injury to a child in a restraint during a crash that requires air bag deployment. Waiting leaves an important safety question unresolved. A prompt VIN check identifies whether your Accent needs Hyundai’s free software correction and helps you make an informed decision before transporting a child in the front passenger position.
