Manufacturer Hyundai Motor America
Components AIR BAGS
Potential Number of Units Affected 84,500

OCS Electrical Connector may Disconnect

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the disconnected OCS would, by default, cause the first stage, and only the first stage, of the air bag to deploy, whether there is a child seat in the front seat and the bag should not deploy or if the crash is severe and both stages should deploy. Either scenario increases the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.

Summary

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Genesis Coupe vehicles manufactured December 12, 2008, to June 11, 2016.

The electrical harness connector for the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may dislodge when the seat is moved.

Remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from disconnecting, free of charge.

Parts are not currently available and a second letter will be sent to owners when parts are available.

Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460.

Hyundai’s number for this recall is 151.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Hyundai Genesis Coupe Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Hyundai has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in Model Year 2010 through 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe vehicles produced beginning on beginning on December 18, 2008 through June 11, 2016. Our records indicate that your vehicle falls within this production date range.

What is the problem?

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is equipped with an Occupant Classification System (OCS) to determine if the front passenger seat is occupied, and if so, detect the presence of a Child Restraint System or small statured occupant. In certain cases, the front passenger airbag is deactivated to help prevent airbag-related injuries to the front passenger. If objects are placed under the front passenger seat and contact the OCS connector, the connector can become disconnected, illuminating the Air Bag warning lamp in the instrument cluster. If this occurs, the front passenger airbag will deploy in a frontal collision regardless of the front passenger seat occupant. Additionally, the system’s second stage airbag will not deploy in more severe collisions.

What will Hyundai do?

Your Hyundai dealer will secure the OCS connector to prevent disconnection. This procedure will be performed at no charge to you. The actual time required to perform the procedure should be less than 1 hour, however your vehicle may be needed longer; therefore, we recommend scheduling a service appointment to minimize inconvenience.

What should you do?

This is an important Safety Recall

Schedule a service appointment at your local Hyundai dealer.
