July 31 (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor America is recalling

over 49,000 U.S. vehicles over unintentional air bag

deactivation or deployment, the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.

"The main floor wiring harness may chafe against the

passenger-side second-row bench seat assembly and become

damaged, which can cause the air bags to deploy unintentionally

or prevent the air bags from deploying in a crash," the U.S.

auto safety agency said.

The recall affects certain 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe HEV

vehicles.

Separately, Hyundai Motor America is also recalling over

12,000 U.S vehicles due to unintended vehicle movement.

A return spring in the ignition lock switch, in certain

2010-2013 Genesis Coupe vehicles, may fracture, which can result

in unintended vehicle movement when the vehicle is started in

gear, without the parking brake applied, the agency said.
