Recall 10V007 affects 80 2006-2009 Hyundai Azera vehicles for right-front seat belt sensor wiring damage. Repair is free at any franchised Hyundai dealer.
Hyundai is recalling 80 2006-2009 Azera vehicles because repeated seat belt use can damage the right front seat belt tension sensor wiring.

What's wrong?
The right front seat belt tension sensor on 2006-2009 Hyundai Azera vehicles helps the restraint system read the load on the front seat belt. That information is part of how the air bag system decides whether a frontal air bag deployment is needed in a crash.
The problem is in the wiring harness for that sensor. Repeated seat belt use can damage the harness near the right front belt. Once the wiring is damaged, the sensor signal is interrupted, and the air bag system does not get the information it needs. In a crash that requires front air bag deployment, the front air bag will not deploy.
There is no warning sign before failure. A belt that latches and retracts normally can still have damaged sensor wiring, so the absence of a visible belt problem does not confirm the system is working.
Who's affected?
Spans 4 model years of the Azera, with both the front seat belt and frontal air bag listed in scope.

What's the safety risk?
The concern is the right front seat belt tension sensor wiring. If it is routed or secured incorrectly, the air bag system can fail to deploy as intended, increasing injury risk for the seat occupant. Schedule the inspection and repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Hyundai dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2009 Hyundai Azera is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Hyundai dealer and ask about the free right-front seat belt tension sensor wiring inspection and harness-clip repair, which addresses wiring damage tied to front air bag deployment.
- Bring the recall notice if Hyundai mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V007 when you call.
- Call Hyundai customer service at 1-787-999-3333 with questions about the inspection, wiring reroute, and seat belt replacement.
- Use the right front passenger seat with care until the repair is complete, since damaged wiring can stop the air bag from deploying as intended.
