Hyundai Motor America "Hyundai" is recalling certain 2018 Genesis G80 vehicles.

In the event of a crash, if a child or infant is in the seat, the front passenger air bag may deploy instead of being deactivated.
In the event of a crash, if the front passenger air bag deploys instead of being deactivated when a child or infant are in the front passenger seat, it can increase the risk of injury.
