Hyundai Recalls Santa Fe and Sonata Vehicles for Air Bags

Airbag issues have led Hyundai Motor Co. to recall some of its Santa Fe SUVs and Sonata vehicles.

The Santa Fe recall involves about 200,000 vehicles in model years 2007 to 2009, according to the Associated Press (AP). The company said that it received complaints from people who weighed less than 130 pounds and whose air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries. Hyundai dealers will reprogram the devices to sense when small adults are seated. 

Hyundai is also recalling 22,500 Sonata sedans from model years 2012 and 2013 because their side air bags may deploy without warning, according to the AP. The company said it received 16 complaints about these vehicles, but no injuries have been reported.
