The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, the air bag warning label installed on the sunvisors had lost adhesion to the sunvisors and had distorted or separated from the sun visors.
The risk
If the labels are distorted or missing, the driver or front seat passenger will not have information available that may help protect them in the event of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the sunvisor assemblies free of charge. The recall began on october 2, 2006. Owners may contact hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
