## What is wrong

HYUNDAI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 TUCSON VEHICLES.  PROPERLY SEATED ADULT RIGHT FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS WEIGHING OVER APPROXIMATELY 240 POUNDS CAUSE THE PASSIVE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM \(PODS\) MODULE PROGRAM TO ILLUMINATE THE "AIR BAG" WARNING LAMP.


## What can happen

IF "AIR BAG" WARNING LAMP IS ILLUMINATED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY IF A CRASH OF SUFFICIENT FORCE TO REQUIRE FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IS EXPERIENCED, AND WILL NOT BE DEACTIVATED IF A CHILD IS SEATED IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEATING POSITION, WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A CHILD FRONT PASSENGER.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE PODS MODULE FREE OF CHARGE.  HYUNDAI ANTICIPATES OWNERS NOTIFICATION BEGAN BY TELEPHONE ON FEBRUARY 15 2010 AND THE NOTIFICATION WAS MAILED ON MARCH 5, 2010.  OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1\-800\-633\-5151.
