| Manufacurer | Hyundai Motor America |
| Brand | HYUNDAI |
| Model | SONATA |
| Model Year | 2006 |
| File date | 05/12/17 |
| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | This car is exhibiting the same behavior as other sonata models from 2006 that have been recalled for the occupant classification system (ocs) in the right front seat. Thus with this issue, no air bag deployment could occur causing serious injury or death. I'm not sure why this particular vin is not covered under a recall that spans all hyundai sonatas from 2006-2008. This has been brought to a dealership and was verified as the problem this car is exhibiting and this should be part of this recall. This is a major safety recall that should be covered and i would like more information as to why this would not be part of this recall, when the car is classified under the parameters of the recall and is exhibiting the signs of the problem the recall covers. This occurs whenever you turn on the vehicle and the sensor in the passenger seat malfunctions. Luckily, there has been no accident and thus no opportunity for the airbag to fail to deploy, but if it occurs, it will definitely lead to a hefty lawsuit. |
