Hyundai Recalls SUVs Due to Air Bags

Nov. 26, 2019
Approximately 11,200 Hyundai SUVs are being recalled for air bags that could damage when deployed.

Nov. 26, 2019—The 2020 Hyundai Palisade is in its first recall, according to a report by CNET.

The automaker will recall 11,217 Palisade SUVs for air bags that could become damaged when deployed. Mounting bolts used for side-curtain air bag installation may damage the air bags and keep them from inflating in the event of a crash.

The issue is a hexagonal screw with sharp edges. To make sure the screw doesn't make a bad situation worse in the event of a crash, Hyundai technicians will install a cover over the screw. The little component will smooth out any sharp edges present and keep the air bag safe when it's tasked to keep passengers safer.
