2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORTTransport Canada Recall #2017654
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the inflator diffuser installed in certain side curtain air bag modules may not have been manufactured correctly. If the vehicle were involved in a crash that warranted side curtain airbag deployment, this could potentially lead to the diffuser detaching. If the diffuser were to detach, it could become a projectile in the occupant compartment, and could cause a tear that could result in the side curtain airbag to not fully inflate. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace both the right and left hand side curtain airbags.
