Hyundai issues recalls for two of its models.
The automaker announced today it's recalling nearly 200-thousand Santa Fe suvs because the front passenger airbag may have problems detecting smaller adults and not deploy during a crash.
The recall involves 2007 through 2009 Santa Fe models.
Hyundai will notify owners and dealers will update the software for free.
Hyundai is also recalling 22,513 -2012 through 2013 sonata sedans because the side air bag may inflate when there is no crash surprising or possibly injuring the driver.
The company will replace the side airbags for free.
