Hyundai recalls

For unintended air bag deactivation or deployment

Hyundai is recalling 49,719 of its 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe HEV vehicles.

In the NHTSA report, the automotive manufacturer said, "the main floor wiring harness may chafe against the passenger-side second-row bench seat assembly and become damaged." This defect can cause the vehicle's air bags to deploy unintentionally or prevent the air bags from deploying in a crash. If an air bag deploys unintentionally it can increase the risk of an injury. When an air fails to deploy it can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

To fix the issue Hyundai dealers will inspect, repair, or replace the wiring harness if necessary. Services for this recall will be completed for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent on Sept. 23. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 265.

Recalled Hyundai vehicles:

• 2024 Santa Fe
• 2024 Santa Fe HEV

For unintentional vehicle movement during startup

Hyundai is recalling 12,612 of its 2010-2013 Genesis Coupe vehicles.

The automotive manufacturer said, "a return spring in the ignition lock switch may fracture which can result in unintended vehicle movement when the vehicle is started in gear without the parking brake applied." If a vehicle moves unintentionally it can increase the risk of a crash, the NHTSA report said.

As a resolution, Hyundai dealers will replace the ignition lock switch for free. Notification letters are expected to be delivered by Sept. 23. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 266.

Recalled vehicles:

• 2010-2013 Genesis Coupe vehicles

Nissan recall for loss of drive power

Nissan is recalling 1,188 of its 2023 Ariya vehicles.

In the NHTSA report the automobile manufacturer said that, "the inverter software may misdiagnose an error which can shut down the EV system and cause a loss of drive power." If a vehicle looses drive power it will increase the risk of a crash.

For free, dealers will inspect the vehicle's inverter software version and update the software. Recall notification letters are expected to be delivered by Sept. 9. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R24A8.

Tesla recall for software not detecting unlatched hood

Tesla is recalling 1,849,638 of its vehicles.

The automotive company said, "the hood latch assembly may fail to detect an unlatched hood condition after the hood has been opened." When a vehicle has an unlatched hood that can fully open it will obstruct the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash, the NHTSA report said.

Tesla has released a free over-the-air software update to fix the issue. Notification letters are expected to be sent on Sept. 22. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-012.

Recalled Tesla vehicles:
