• Recall 74629 [USA]: The front passenger air bag could deploy in crashes in which it should not deploy, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant from the deployed air bag.
  Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 elantra vehicles manufactured from july 14, 2006, through november 1, 2008. The front passenger seats in the vehicles contain a weight sensor designed to deactivate the right frontal airbag when occupants of certain weights occupy the seat. The electrical connector for the weight sensor is located under the center console, between the front seats. Under certain circumstances the connector could become contaminated and malfunction such that the front passenger airbag will deploy regardless of the weight of the occupant.
  dealers will install a protective cover over the weight classification system connector to prevent contamination. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expecting to begin during april 2011. Owners may contact hyundai's customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.

• Recall 76105 [USA]: A higher pressure deployment than intended increases the risk of injury resulting from airbag deployment.
  Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 elantra vehicles manufactured from july 14, 2006, through august 29, 2007. The driver's seat track position sensor determines the seat's fore and aft position and allows the driver's frontal air bag to deploy at the pressure appropriate for that seating position, with a lower pressure deployment in the most forward seating positions. The air bag control module may receive an unstable electrical signal from the seat track position sensor such that, in a crash that requires driver frontal airbag deployment, the driver's airbag may deploy at the higher pressure than intended if the seat was position in one of the forward positions in which a lower pressure deployment is intended.
  dealers will reprogram the air bag control module free of charge. The safety recall is expecting to begin during april 2011. Owners may contact hyundai's customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.

• Throttle control system vulnerabilities investigation # DP21003

  The office of defects investigation (odi) of the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) received a petition letter dated october 10, 2021, requesting an investigation of possible defects in the electronic throttle control (etc) system on certain kia vehicles resulting in the opening of dp21-003. Accordingly, model year (my) 2005-2016 kia optima/k5, my 2006-2015 kia sorento, my 2007-2016 hyundai elantra, my 2007-2016 hyundai santa fe, my 2006-2015 hyundai sonatas are all part of the subject population. The petition was originally filed as a vehicle owner questionnaire that can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under reference (odi) number 11439675.On november 12, 2021, odi opened defect petition dp21-003 to evaluate the petitioner?S request. Odi performed trend analyses of the voqs related to vehicle speed control issues for all the subject vehicles and found that none of the 52 model/model year hyundai/kia vehicles demonstrated any actionable trend that warranted an investigation.Petitioners submitted 1119 voqs and non-voq cases in which sudden uncommanded acceleration (sua) or loss of motive power (lomp) incidents were alleged.For the 1119 reports, 220 were incidents involving crashes, from which 69 subject hyundai-kia vehicles were inspected by hyundai/kia dealer technicians, hyundai/kia engineers, and/or third-party representatives.Odi found the inspections identified no vehicle defects related to the etc system.Of the 220 crash-involved reports, 13 event data recorder (edr) records were downloaded successfully and 11 of those indicated driver error: (i.E.) pedal misapplication.A condition where the accelerator pedal is mistakenly applied instead of the brake pedal when the driver wants to stop the vehicle.In addition, odi reviewed a scientific journal paper published in forensic science international in 2016 by mr. Park et al ., as well as related test videos. Odi does not believe there is any evidence of uncontrollable sua occurrences in any of the tests reviewed. Nhtsas office of vehicle safety compliance (ovsc) reviewed the allegations regarding the potential noncompliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124.Based on the information provided, the agency concludes there is insufficient information for us to determine if a possible non-compliance exists.Finally, both hyundai and kia informed odi that all their vehicles manufactured after 2012 were equipped with an etc management system, in which the engine speed will go to idle when the system sees signals from both the brake pedal and accelerator pedal at the same time; this is commonly known as the brake-throttle override system.After thoroughly assessing the material submitted by the petitioner, information already in nhtsas possession, information submitted by hyundai and kia in response to an information request letter, and the potential risks to safety implicated by the petitioners allegation, nhtsa does not believe that a formal investigation is warranted. After full consideration of appropriate factors, the petition is denied. A federal register notice (frn) further detailing nhtsa?S reasons for denial of the petition will be published.

• Engine stalling - fuel pump failure investigation # PE08044

  On august 19, 2008, hyundai submitted a defect information report to nhtsa concerning fuel pump failure resulting in engine stall in approximately 65,000 model year 2008 hyundai elantra vehicles with 2.0 liter beta engines produced from november 5, 2007, through june 28, 2008 (nhtsa recall no. 08v-429, hyundai campaign 086).The recalled vehicles are equipped with fuel pumps manufactured with upper body components from a different supplier than those manufactured prior to november 5, 2007.According to hyundai, the new suppliers upper body components had incorrect dimensional characteristics resulting in misalignment of the armature shaft, which caused some of the fuel pumps to experience poor brush-to-commentator contact conditions that could result in engine stall. The use of ethanol blend fuel, containing up to 10 percent ethanol, causes a film build-up that creates high resistance between the brush and commutator.The misaligned armature shaft prevents the brush and commutator from making sufficient contact to overcome the high resistance film build-up, therefore producing less pumping pressure than required to supply the fuel injection system. Sixty-four of the complaints (72%), including the crash and injury allegation, involve the recalled vehicles.The complaint rate in the subject vehicle population is 98.5 per 100,000 vehicles, compared with 21.4 in the remaining population, which has on average been in service over a year longer.The warranty claim rate is also significantly higher in the recalled vehicles, which had 569 claims (0.9 percent claim rate) compared with 126 claims in the remaining population (0.1 percent claim rate). Hyundai will replace the fuel pump subassemblies in the recalled vehicles free of charge.This preliminary evaluation is closed with hyundais recall.

On december 5th, 2020 at approximatly 0645am i was driving my elantra without and iissues or pre-indicators that something very bad was about to happen. I was on a busy road that is traveled all times of the day, getting on interstate 270 in columbus headed west. I estimate (picture included from accident site and where the freeway started) about 1000 feet until i merge onto the well traveled highway. Iwhen i i completed my slight turn associated with this paticular on ramp, i lose control of the vehicle without warning, my car went in two circles. My steering did not work as well as my brakes. I would like to also note that this paticular on ramp also has steady, fast moving traffic from another street merging together before ww all get on the highway. Two cars and a tractor trailor were able to avoid me. I am convinced that only by the grace of god himself was i not seriously hurt or my children in the car with me. My only means to stop was fiannlly the guardrail. I also thank god for this guard rail becaiuse there is a steep embankment with a body of water at the bottom. I estimate at the time of collison i was approaching at least 40 mph. My head hit the drivers side window. No bleeding, just stunned. (nobody stopped btw). When i was able to collect my thoughts and call someone. I was able to call my friend for a ride. He was shocked when he arrived that i was okay. He wanted to go to the er because of the goose egg on my noggin but during a pandemic i think i'll wait. He calls aaa for me and we get the car towed back to my home. It will never be drivable again but in my state of shock it was my most plausible option. Upon, inspecting the car, the tire rod snapped clean off the wheel.
