More than 2000 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles have been recalled over a manufacturing fault that has the potential to stop an airbag deploying.
The Department of Transport said the airbag wiring harness under the rear passenger seat of the SUV may not have been adequately secured.
“As a result, it may become damaged over time due to seat adjustment leading to inadvertent deployment or an inability to deploy the rear seat side airbags,” it said in its recall notice.
