What’s wrong with it?
A detached driver’s air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2016 Genesis Coupe vehicles.
The mounting bolts securing the driver-side frontal air bag may have been insufficiently tightened, potentially causing the air bag to detach from the steering wheel.
