Hyundai Elantra driver airbag emblem may break loose

NHTSA campaign 22V632000 · Reported 2022-08-18 · Hyundai Motor America

medium How serious is it? About this label

A detached air bag cover emblem may strike a vehicle occupant, which can increase the risk of injury. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

The emblem on the cover of the driver's front airbag may not have been welded on properly at the factory. If the airbag goes off in a crash, that badge can break away and fly off with it. The airbag itself still does its job, but the loose emblem could strike someone in the car. To fix it, dealers are replacing the entire driver's front airbag rather than just the cover.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your Elantra or Elantra N is covered.
2. Contact your Hyundai dealer, or Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 (recall 234), to schedule the airbag replacement.
3. Bring the car in for the free repair — owner letters went out in October 2022.
