AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2016 Genesis Coupe vehicles. The mounting bolts securing the driver-side frontal air bag may have been insufficiently tightened, potentially causing the air bag to detach from the steering wheel.
- What it can cause
- A detached driver's air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the mounting bolts and retighten them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 22, 2020. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 192.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,295 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2016, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 35 times before this, most recently in November 2019 as 19V802000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 7 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2017, 3 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Hyundai Motor America with NHTSA on May 4, 2020 as campaign 20V248000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
