Hyundai Elantra Touring recall affects nearly 35,000 vehicles in the United States and about 23,600 in Canada. The Elantra Touring wagons were manufactured between December 15, 2009, and May 7, 2012. All the affected vehicles are of 2010-2012 model years.

The problem in the affected vehicles is that during side curtain airbag deployment, the support bracket that is attached to the headliner may be thrown toward the passengers, most probably causing them injuries.

It should be noted that Hyundai previously recalled around 190,000 Elantra vehicles in 2013 for the same problem. This time, the problem was found out during an NHTSA testing on June 3, 2014. However, the automaker is not aware of any injuries or crashes due to the defect.

The automaker will start notifying affected owners in the middle of August. Dealers will use adhesive strips to make the bracket stand more firmly in its place. All the repairs will be carried out free of charge for the affected owners. If you want to learn more about Hyundai Elantra Touring recall, you can contact the automaker at 800-633-5151 for more information.
