Hyundai Tucson missing glove box airbag warning label

NHTSA campaign 24V691000 · Reported 2024-09-13 · Hyundai Motor America

Without the glove box label, operators may be unaware of the increased risks that an air bag poses to an infant or child in the front seat, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

The warning label that belongs on the glove box may be missing from your Tucson. That label tells you not to put an infant or small child in the front passenger seat, because the passenger airbag inflates with enough force to hurt them. Nothing is wrong with the airbag itself — it works normally. The only problem is the missing warning. Hyundai is mailing the label to owners, you stick it on yourself, and it costs nothing.

What you should do

1. Confirm your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2. Watch your mail for the free warning label from Hyundai and apply it to the glove box. 3. If it does not arrive, call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 (recall 268).
