What's wrong, in plain English

Hyundai is recalling certain Santa Fe and Santa Fe HEV vehicles because a wiring harness under the floor may rub against the second-row bench seat and become damaged. This damage could cause the airbags to go off when they are not supposed to, or it could prevent the airbags from deploying in a crash.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Hyundai dealer to have the wiring harness inspected (Hyundai customer service: 1-855-371-9460).
3. Any needed repair or replacement of the wiring harness is free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 24V561000.
