The Ministry of Commerce announced the recall of 71,764 Hyundai vehicles, models “Elantra / i30” (2009–2011), due to a defect in the driver-side airbag inflator, which may cause the airbag to rupture and release sharp metal fragments in the event of an accident, potentially leading to serious injury or death.
The Ministry urged owners of the affected vehicles to immediately stop driving them and contact local dealers to carry out the necessary repairs free of charge.
It emphasized contacting the local dealers: Al-Wallan Company at the toll-free number (8001240401), Almajdouie Company at (8003040777), and Naghi Company at (8001240191), to perform the required repairs at no cost.
Vehicle owners can also verify whether their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is included in the recall campaign through the Defective Product Recall Center website:
