After some time ago the South Korean car manufacturer, Hyundai, will attract around 188,697 units of Elantra sedans in the United States. Now Hyundai will likely increase the number of units to be withdrawn.
A second withdrawal will be done has involved approximately 95,783 units of Elantra, which is also made in 2007 - 2009. When you add up, the car will be drawn as many as 300,000 units, as cited Okezone from Autoblog, Tuesday (03/22/2011)
Both withdrawals must be done because it has found the same problem in the airbag safety devices.
However, although devices with problems similar but different cases.
When the announcement of the first withdrawal, sensors placed on the center console does not function properly.
Devices so that it actually makes the air bags inflate with a sudden when there are passengers with particular weight given the absence of any potential accident.
While in the second announcement, the air bag on the passenger side will expand gradually, or twice the process expands. That certainly would be dangerous if an accident because passengers will not be maximally protected.
The danger, electronic noise arising from other components of the sensor can be confusing, when the accident occurred.
The plan, Hyundai will issue a formal recall notice to customers on 8 April. Customers are asked to immediately to the nearest dilerHyundai to get repairs for free.
