The defect

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.

The risk

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.

The 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.

The dealership was saying this recall was done but it was not and the problem still persists and I have the airbag/rearbelt light permanently on: ​**Passenger Airbag OCS Sensor (2016): A loose electrical connector under the front passenger seat can prevent the passenger airbag from deploying properly in a crash. This problem still persists as I had the car on diagnostics and they 3 codes come up for it. This needs ro be fixed ASAP as the recall did not take or was not done and falsified . I bought the car in 2016 and not so long after the lights came on but I am not too sure as to when the actually date it popped back on but I will make my best assumption of when. I took the car on and off …

40,000 miles

AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY I SHIFTED OUT OF 6TH GEAR (70MPH) AND PRESSED THE BRAKES TAKING IT DOWN TO 40MPH. THE RPMS CONTINUED TO REV UP TO 6K AND BEYOND. THE BRAKES DID RESPOND, SO I FELT THERE WASN'T IMMEDIATE DANGER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED MY CAR BY TURNING OFF THE KEY. TURNING THE CAR BACK ON, NOT IN ANY GEAR, NOT PRESSING THE GAS, THE RPMS BEGAN TO REV JUST AS HIGH AGAIN. SO I TURNED THE KEY OFF AGAIN. I DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN, STARTED THE CAR, IT BEGAN REVVING UP THE RPMS. I SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND IT BEGAN TO DECREASE IN RPM. THEN IT BECAME NORMAL. BUT NOW THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHEN I ACCELERATE THAT WAS NOT …
