Curtain airbag recall (fixing bolts)
Manufacturer recallFollowing Euro NCAP tests at the end of 2018, a curtain airbag could tear on a fixing bolt and catch on a seatbelt anchor; Hyundai changed production and launched a recall. In the United States, recall 18V-715 concerned Santa Fes built from May to August 2018: sharp-edged bolts could damage the airbag, repaired by fitting a protective cover. These sources do not specify the vehicles sold in France: have a Hyundai dealer check, using the serial number, whether the recall has been carried out.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
