Hyundai Tucson Problems

SEVERAL aftermarket kits can be fitted. Among the better-known brands are Cobra and Rhino, which can be fitted by specialists. You could also take it back to the dealership and ask them to fit the sensors.

I WOULD be careful about doing anything that might hinder the deployment of the airbag. An airbag activates with enough force to blow covers off the steering wheel or dash, but it might not be enough to clear a seat cover, even part of a seat cover. A cover that doesn't intrude into the area over the airbags would probably be OK, but make sure it does not cover the airbag in any way.

THERE is no doubt Hyundai and other Korean carmakers are fast catching up to the rest of the world in build quality. Hyundai still carries, perhaps unfairly, baggage from the Excel recall over front-end problems, but they're a much better car than they were in those days.
