Issue: On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash.

Issue: On certain vehicles, a part in the trunk release latch could fail. If this happens, the emergency trunk release located inside the trunk may not work properly.

This could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the trunk latch assembly.

The dealer will apply an anti-corrosion treatment to certain parts, and replace the brake lines if necessary.
- Engine#2022244
178,064 units affected

For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are affected by this campaign. This is an expansion of R0180 (Transport Canada #2021-575).
