Hyundai Elantra: Airbag
Affects Hyundai Elantra · 2001 — about 10K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, spilled liquid seeping through the console opening for the parking brake lever could contaminate the airbag control module connector that is located under the center console. This could result in an airbag Warning Light illumination. Should the owner decide not have the airbag system serviced at the time, it may affect the driver & passenger frontal airbags and prevent airbag deployment during a crash. Non-deployment of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbags increases the risk of personal injuries or death in certain crash conditions. Correction: Dealers will install a protective cover over the airbag control module connector.
