What is wrong
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Genesis Coupe vehicles manufactured December 12, 2008, to June 11, 2016. The electrical harness connector for the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may dislodge when the seat is moved.
What can happen
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the disconnected OCS would, by default, cause the first stage, and only the first stage, of the air bag to deploy, whether there is a child seat in the front seat and the bag should not deploy or if the crash is severe and both stages should deploy. Either scenario increases the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.
The remedy
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from disconnecting, free of charge. Parts are not currently available and a second letter will be sent to owners when parts are available. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 151.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Bulletins for the same vehicles and component
| DTN DL | 2026-05-08. Other. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified the presence of substandard and dangerous driver’s-side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (DTN). These inflators were not supplied, approved, or authorized by the vehicle manufacturers and have primarily been found in vehicles that previously experienced a crash and underwent airbag replacement using non-genuine parts. These dangerous inflators have ruptured during deployment, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to metal fragments entering the vehicle cabin. To date, Hyundai is aware of three people who have died while driving a Hyundai vehicle with one of these substandard replacement airbag inflators that deployed in what likely would have been a survivable crash. NHTSA has issued a public advisory urging vehicle owners and service professionals to have vehicles inspected if there is reason to believe that a non-genuine replacement airbag may have been installed. Vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles, prior airbag deployments, or unknown repair histories may present a higher risk. NHTSA strongly cautions against self-inspection by vehicle owners and recommends inspection by trained technicians. |

| 5NP-P4Q3W-11 | 2017-01-13. Service bulletin. THE HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) TO DETERMINE IF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, AND IF SO, DETECT THE PRESENCE OF A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM OR SMALL STATURED OCCUPANT. IN CERTAIN CASES, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED TO HELP PREVENT AIRBAG-RELATED INJURIES TO THE FRONT PASSENGER.

IF THIS OCCURS, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IN A FRONTAL COLLISION REGARDLESS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT. ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTEM’S SECOND STAGE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN MORE SEVERE COLLISIONS. |
