Manufactured:
07/02/2005 - 07/10/2005
Affected:
463
Defect:
On certain passenger vehicles, the inner bezels of the headlamps were not properly assembled which may cause the turn signal lenses to be improperly positioned.

Component:
Exterior lighting:headlights
Affected:
4,085
Defect:
Hyundai-kia is recalling 4,085 replacement headlamp assemblies sold for use on 2006-2008 sonata and azera vehicles. these headlamp assemblies may not have been aligned properly and fail to conform to the photometric requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
Consequence:
Improper aiming of the headlamp may result in poor visibility possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Hyundai-kia dealers have been notified and instructed to return their supply to hyundai motor america. none of the headlamps were sold as retail. as a result, an owner notification letter will not be issued.
Notes:

Component:
Air bags
Manufactured:

Affected:
393,308
Defect:
Hyundai is recalling 393,308 my 2006-2008 sonata vehicles equipped with an advanced air bag system which features an occupant classification system (ocs) in the right front seat. the purpose of the ocs is to disable the right passenger seat front air bag when it detects the presence of a child restraint system or small child in the right front seat. the right front air bag is disabled to prevent injuries to a child that may result from a right front air bag inflation during a crash.
Consequence:
Misclassification of a small stature adult as a child in the right front passenger seat may cause the right front air bag to not inflate in an accident that merits air bag deployment and may result in injury to the right front occupant.
Correction:
Dealers will verify that the ocs does not properly recognize a properly seated adult occupant. after verification, dealers will remove the right front seat cushion assembly and ship it to an evaluation and repair facility. this facility will evaluate and repair or reprogram the seat cushion and ocs as necessary. the recall is expected to begin on or about may 26, 2008. owners may contact hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
