What's wrong, in plain English
On these Hyundai Elantra and Elantra N cars, the emblem on the cover of the driver's front airbag may not have been welded on properly. Because of that weld, the emblem can separate from the cover when the airbag goes off. The remedy is a full replacement of the airbag rather than a repair to the cover, and a dealer will do this work at no cost. Hyundai has already mailed letters to owners about the recall.
What you should do
2. Contact a Hyundai dealer to have the driver's front airbag replaced, or call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460.
3. The repair is free.
