- Air bags › FrontalCovers: Hyundai Elantra 1994–1995
Reported issue: The driver's side air bag was improperly assembled and could cause the air bag warning light to illuminate from increased electrical resistance.
Possible consequence: An increase in the electrical resistance might prevent the air bag from activating during a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the air bag assembly wiring harness connector to determine if it contains a terminal holder. If it does not, one will be installed.
- Electrical system › Alternator/generator/regulatorCovers: Hyundai Elantra 1994, Excel 1994
Reported issue: In some vehicles, the manufacturer's protective internal coating of the electronic crank angle sensor does not meet specifications, which can cause an open circuit at high operating temperatures. This can cause the vehicle to stall.
Possible consequence: Engine stalling has the potential to result in a vehicle crash if it occurs while the vehicle is moving.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the crank angle sensor to determine whether the sensor is involved in the recall, and replace any sensor found with the defective internal coating.
