SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Hyundai is recalling
certain MY 2001 Elantra
vehicles. If a liquid is
spilled in the area of
the cupholder on the
center console, it may
seep through the console
opening for the parking
brake lever and then
drip onto the air bag
control module
electrical connector.
The spilled liquid may
contaminate the air bag
control module and its
electrical connector to
the air bag wiring
harness and cause the
supplemental restraint
system (SRS) warning
light to illuminate.
This condition may
affect the driver and
passenger frontal air
bags and may prevent air
bag deployment during a
crash where such
deployment should occur.
Non-deployment of the
SRS air bags may
increase the risk of
injury to the driver and
front passenger under
certain crash
conditions. Dealers will
install a protective
cover over the vehicle's
air bag control module
connector. The recall is
expected to begin during
the fourth quarter of
2008, and will be sent
out in six mailings.
Owners may contact
Hyundai at
1-800-633-5151. This
recall was the subject
of an Engineering
Analysis, EA08-012,
conducted by the Office
of Defects
Investigation. 08V532
SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Hyundai is recalling
certain MY 2001-2002
Elantra vehicles.
Movement of the side
impact air bag wiring
harness mounted under
each front seat,
possibly caused by
contact from materials
placed under the seat,
may result in an
electrical resistance
that would cause
supplemental restraint
system (SRS) warning
light illumination. This
condition only relates
to the driver and
passenger seat mounted
side impact air bags and
may prevent seat mounted
side impact air bag
deployment during a
crash where such
deployment should occur.
Non-deployment of the
SRS air bags may
increase the risk of
injury to the driver and
front passenger under
certain crash
conditions. Dealers will
install new side impact
air bag wiring harness
connector clips and
revised side impact air
bag wiring harness
attachments under the
driver's and front
passenger's seats. The
recall is expected to
begin during the fourth
quarter of 2008, and
will be sent out in six
mailings. Owners may
contact Hyundai at
1-800-633-5151. This
recall was the subject
of an Engineering
Analysis, EA08-012,
conducted by the Office
of Defects
Investigation. 08V533
AUGUST 2008 --
Hyundai is recalling
65,000 MY 2008 Elantra
vehicles with 2.0 liter
beta engines. The fuel
pump motor may not have
the proper uniform
internal electrical
surface contact. This
may cause the fuel pump
to produce less pumping
pressure than required
to supply the fuel
injection system. Fuel
leakage, in the presence
of an ignition source,
could result in a fire.
Dealers will replace the
fuel pump subassembly
free of charge. The
recall is expected to
begin during September
2008. This recall was
the subject of a
Preliminary Evaluation,
PE08-044, conducted by
the Office of Defects
Investigation. 08V429
