2010 Hyundai Tuscon Recalled Because of Airbag Problems

The Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced that Hyundai has recalled their 2010 Hyundai Tucson crossover for an airbag defect.  Only 515 of the SUV's were recalled but this is a very serious issue because the defect can cause the air bag to deploy in certain circumstances where it is not supposed to which can cause serious injuries to someone especially a child or diminutive passenger. 

The 2010 Hyundai Tucson crossover has a problem where occupants weighing more than 240 lbs can cause the passive occupant detection system (PODS) to illuminate the airbag warning light.  This can cause the airbag to deploy even if the airbag has been deactivated posing a risk to those who may be easily harmed by an airbag.

If you are having an issue with your 2010 Hyundai Tucson crossover you can contact Hyundai at 800.633.5151 or the NHTSA at 888.325.4236 to discuss having the vehicle repaired free of charge.  Also, if you or a loved one was injured by this recalled vehicle you will want to inform the NHTSA and a car defect lawyer in your area.
