Hyundai Issues Airbag Recall for 2025 Tucson Models

Hyundai has announced a recall affecting certain 2025 Tucson SUVs, citing a potential issue with the vehicle’s airbag system. The problem involves a manufacturing defect that could prevent the passenger-side airbag from deploying properly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Owners are being urged to check if their vehicle is included in the recall.

According to the automaker, the recall stems from a faulty sensor connection inside the airbag control module. In affected vehicles, the system may fail to detect a passenger in the front seat, causing the airbag to remain inactive when it should deploy. Hyundai has not reported any accidents or injuries linked to the defect, but is taking proactive steps to address the issue.

The recall covers a specific batch of 2025 Tucson models produced between certain dates. Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct them to bring their vehicle to an authorized dealer for a free inspection and repair. The fix involves updating the airbag control software or replacing the sensor module, depending on the vehicle’s condition.

Owners can also check their vehicle identification number on Hyundai’s recall website for confirmation.
