On certain vehicles, if a small statured adult driver, not wearing a seatbelt, is involved in a frontal or near frontal crash, deployment of the driver airbag may result in an insufficient margin of compliance as measured by the test dummy in the US Government fifth percentile female Out-Of-Position test. Canadian regulations in this area differ from those in the United States and thus Canadian vehicles are not out of compliance. However, in the interest of safety, Hyundai Auto Canada is conducting this campaign in order to improve the margin of compliance with CMVSS 208. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver airbag module.
