The 2009 Hyundai Azera has two recalls, the more serious being water intrusion into the ABS module that can cause an electrical short and start an engine compartment fire, even while the car is parked and off.
The second recall involves the wiring harness connected to the right front seat belt's tension sensor, which can wear and break over time with repeated seat belt use. If that sensor fails, the airbag system may not deploy correctly in a crash, raising the risk of injury to the front passenger.
