SERVICE PROCEDURE (SAME FOR DRIVER SIDE AS PASSENGER SIDE):

 


RECALL 238/011G ATTACHMENT A (AMENDED 12-8-2022)
CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS LEADING UP TO DEFECT DECISION

❖ October 2022
On October 17, 2022, HMC notified NASO of the pretensioner testing results of the micro gas generator separation from the pretensioner pipe, a condition referenced in Recalls 211/009G (21V-796), 219 (22V-069), 220 (22V-123), 223 (22V-218), 229 (22V-354) and 231 (22V-458), for non-North American spec GenesiseBay logo G80 EV and HyundaieBay logo Santa Fe HEV/PHEV. HMC confirmed no separation of the micro gas generator was observed for North American spec GenesiseBay logo G80 EV and HyundaieBay logo Santa Fe HEV/PHEV due to having different airbag control unit logic. HMC communicated its decision for a foreign recall for GenesiseBay logo G80 EV and HyundaieBay logo Santa Fe HEV/PHEV for non-North American markets, based on the testing results.

On October 24, 2022, NASO convened its North American Safety Decision Authority (“NASDA”). Although no concern was observed for North American spec G80 EV and Santa Fe HEV/PHEV, in an abundance of caution NASO decided to conduct a safety recall of G80 EV vehicles and Santa Fe HEV/PHEV vehicles equipped with pretensioners without a vent valve.

❖ December 2022
On December 6, 2022, HMC notified NASO of 5 additional G80 EV vehicles to the affected vehicle population initially reported in HyundaieBay logo’s filing of Recall 238 based on reconfirmation of vehicles equipped with pretensioners requiring remedy. HyundaieBay logo is submitting this revision as amended information to the initial Part 573 report for Recall 238.

HyundaieBay logo is not aware of any abnormal pretensioner deployment incidents on G80 EV and Santa Fe HEV/PHEV vehicles, including fatalities, injuries, crashes and fires globally.

HyundaieBay logo is continuing testing of certain out of recall scope vehicles equipped with Samsong pretensioners.
