The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has two recalls, the more serious affecting manual transmission models where a faulty clutch ignition lock switch can allow the engine to start without the clutch pedal depressed, causing the vehicle to lurch forward unexpectedly.
The second recall involves the front passenger seat sensor, which detects whether the seat is occupied by an adult or child and adjusts airbag deployment accordingly. Objects or debris that slide under the front passenger seat can knock loose the sensor's electrical connector when the seat is moved, disabling the system and triggering the airbag warning light on the dashboard.

At a glance
What can fail
Objects or debris under the front passenger seat can disconnect the Occupant Classification System (OCS) electrical connector when the seat moves, disabling the system and turning on the airbag warning light. This causes the front passenger airbag to deploy in all collisions regardless of occupant size, risking injury to children or small occupants, and may prevent the second-stage airbag from deploying.
What the fix does
Dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from being disconnected by objects or debris under the seat.
