Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2018 Santa Fe Sport
vehicles. The side curtain air bags on these vehicles have a component
that may detach during deployment of the inflatable curtain air bag. If
the component detaches during deployment, the curtain air bag may not
inflate properly during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally,
if the detached component were to enter the vehicle occupant compartment,
there could be an increased risk of occupant injury. Hyundai will notify
owners, and dealers will replace the driver and passenger side curtain
air bags, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 9,
2018. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's
number for this recall is 171.
