Addressing recalls promptly protects you and your passengers. The 2010 Hyundai Sonata has been associated in NHTSA records with several safety-related campaigns — notably seat belt linkage detachment that can prevent proper occupant restraint, and air bag module defects that may reduce inflation or second-stage deployment when needed.
