2007–2008 Hyundai Santa FE & 2007–2008 Hyundai Veracruz recall: airbag

⚠️ What's wrong

Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 hyundai Veracruz vehicles manufactured from december 26, 2006, through march 21, 2008, and model year 2007-2008 hyundai Santa FE vehicles manufactured from april 19, 2006 through march 20, 2008. The clock spring contact assembly for the driver's air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) may become damaged through usage over time. The driver's air bag electrical circuit will experience a high resistance condition, potentially causing the driver's air bag to not deploy.
