The short version

Hyundai Motor America reported a problem with the sensor occupant classification. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly detect that an adult is in the passenger seat, even if the seat is unoccupied. In the event of a crash, if a child or infant is in the seat, the front passenger air bag may deploy instead of being deactivated.

WHY IT MATTERS

In the event of a crash, if the front passenger air bag deploys instead of being deactivated when a child or infant are in the front passenger seat, it can increase the risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the OCS, free of charge.
