The 2001 Hyundai XG300 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a faulty powertrain control module where a damaged ignition failure sensor can cause the engine to stall without warning, raising the risk of a crash.
A related filing covers the same powertrain control module defect, where the improperly seated component can also affect engine operation more broadly. On the safety equipment side, the side impact airbag wiring harness can shift as the adjustable seat cushion moves, causing an intermittent fault that may trigger the airbag warning light. When that warning light comes on, it can indicate that the side airbags may not deploy correctly in a crash, though it may also reflect a wiring connection issue rather than an outright failure. There is also a compliance recall involving the tire pressure placard: certain vehicles were built without the correct label, meaning the recommended inflation pressures printed inside the door jamb or on the placard may not match the actual requirements for the tires fitted to the car. Running tires at the wrong pressure can cause uneven wear, handling instability, and increased risk of tire damage over time.
