Houston injury lawyers note that the NHTSA and Hyundai-Kia America have announced the recall of 2012 – 2013 Hyundai Sonata vehicles made between January 24, 2012 and June 21, 2012. An error during the manufacture of these passenger cars resulted in a dangerous defect that could cause the Hyundai Sonata side curtain airbags to deploy without warning and without any deployment command.

If the defective Hyundai Sonata side curtain airbags suddenly inflate without warning, it could cause injury to vehicle occupants. Airbag deployment has been known to cause mild to severe injuries that include burns, lacerations, soft tissue damage, and fractured and broken bones.

Sudden Hyundai Sonata side curtain airbag deployment could also result in extreme driver distraction and a reduction in visibility that could cause the driver to crash the vehicle. Crash injuries could range from minor to fatal depending upon the circumstances of the wreck.

Hyundai has said that it will replace the side curtain airbags in Sonatas affected by the recall free of charge. Worried owners of 2012 – 2013 Hyundai Sonatas may contact Hyundai at 800-633-5151. If you don’t know your particular vehicle’s manufacture date, you should be able to obtain that information from your Hyundai dealer. You can also find out more information about other recalls that might apply to your vehicle at the NHTSA website. A link to the NHTSA site is provided with this article.
