## What is wrong

Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2012\-2013 Hyundai Sonata passenger cars, manufactured from January 24, 2012, through June 21, 2012.  The curtain side airbags on these vehicles may inflate without deployment command due to an error during manufacturing.


## What can happen

The curtain airbag may inflate without deployment command and increase the risk of injury to occupants of the vehicle.  Additionally,  an unexpected deployment would be a significant driver distraction and would limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Hyundai dealers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the curtain side airbags free of charge.  This recall began on August 31, 2012. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1\-800\-633\-5151.
