4 recalls across 1 model year
The Hyundai XG300 has 4 recalls, all affecting the 2001 model year, with the most serious involving a faulty powertrain control module where an internal component can damage the ignition failure sensor and cause the engine to stall without warning while driving. Recalls 1 and 3 describe the same underlying defect in the powertrain control module, so this is treated as a single issue.
The 2001 model also has an airbag wiring harness routed through the adjustable seat cushion assembly that can shift with seat movement, triggering an intermittent airbag warning light. Because the warning light may reflect a real fault in the side-impact airbag system rather than a false alarm, the airbags may not perform as expected in a crash. There is also a missing or incorrect tire pressure placard on 2001 models, meaning the recommended inflation figures posted on the vehicle may not match the tires fitted, which can affect handling and increase the risk of tire damage over time.
