2018 Hyundai TM Santa Fe: rear side or curtain airbags

In November 2018, recall campaign 81C074 was issued for Hyundai TM Santa Fe vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 June 2018 to 14 August 2018. In the event of airbag deployment, protrusion of the curtain airbag mounting bolt may interfere with airbag fabric and this could cause damage to the rear side or curtain airbag cushion. The airbag may therefore not provide optimum protection and this would increase the risk of injury to the rear occupant. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17136.
