The occupant detection system may malfunction

Hyundai Motor America is recalling ten model year 2021 Santa Fe SUVs.

The Occupant Detection System (ODS) module may not deactivate the airbag upon detection of a child restraint system in the front passenger seat.

Deployment of the front passenger airbag with a child in that seat can increase the risk of injury to the child.

What to do

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ODS module free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin May 14, 2021.

Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at (855) 371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 202.
