Hyundai has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2001-2002 Elantra. They stated that movement of the side impact air bag wiring harness mounted under each front seat, possibly caused by contact from materials placed under the seat, may result in an electrical resistance that would cause supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning light illumination.
This condition only relates to the driver and passenger seat mounted side impact air bags and may prevent seat mounted side impact air bag deployment during a crash where such deployment during a crash where such deployment should occur. Non-deployment of the SRS air bags may increase the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger under certain crash conditions.
Dealers will install new side impact air bag wiring harness connector clips and revised side impact air bag wiring harness attachments under the drivers and front passengers seats. The recall is expected to begin during the November 2008 and will be sent out in six mailings. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
