The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries would be likely for the left lower leg. Forces on the right tibia and right foot indicate that injuries would be possible for the right lower leg and foot. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.

SUSPENSION:AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL (ASC)
|
|
Description:
|
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with electronic stability program (ESP), the yaw rate sensor may become too sensitive and may recalibrate inaccurately. While driving the ESP program may cause the engine to reduce power and may cause a brake at one of the wheels to be inappropriately applied without brake pedal application by the driver. Brake application caused by inadvertent ESP activation may result in loss of control and a crash. Dealers will reprogram the ESP hydraulic electronic control unit. The recall began on April 13, 2005. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

PARKING BRAKE
|
|
Description:
|
On certain sport utility vehicles, the parking brake lever ratchet pawl was not properly manufactured and may damage the teeth of the parking brake lever ratchet. Damaged parking brake lever ratchet teeth may prevent the parking brake from engaging or may allow the parking brake to release after it has been engaged. The inability to engage, or the inadvertent release of, the parking brake lever may allow the vehicle to roll while it is parked and may result in a crash. Dealers will replace the vehicle's parking brake lever assembly. The recall is expected to begin during July 2005. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR MODULE
|
|
Description:
|
On certain sport utility vehicles, during static air bag deployment testing conducted by NHTSA using fifth percentile female dummies indicated if a small statured adult driver, not wearing a seat belt, is involved in a frontal or near frontal crash, deployment of the driver air bag may result in an insufficient margin of compliance as measured by the test dummy used in the NHTSA test. This can cause increased risk of injury to the driver under certain crash conditions. Dealers will replace the driver air bag module. The recall is expected to begin on January 29, 2007, through six mailings. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

Description:
|
On certain vehicles, static air bag deployment testing conducted by NHTSA using fifth percentile female dummies indicated that a small stature adult driver not wearing a seat belt and involved in a frontal or near frontal crash, the deployment of the driver air bag may not occur. This can cause increased risk of injury to the driver under certain crash conditions. Dealers will replace the driver air bag module with one that is designed to provide an increased margin of compliance for low risk deployment for small stature adults who are not properly wearing the seat belts. The recall is expected to begin on or about May 31, 2007, and will be performed in two mailings. Owners may contact Hyundai de Puerto Rico at 1-800-981-0188.

Summary:
|
All-new SUV offers class-leading safety features.
By John Rettie, NewCarTestDrive.com
Hyundai has come a long way in terms of quality and reputation in the past few years. Judging from our look at the company's latest model one can safely place the Tucson alongside comparable models from established players. What's more it costs hundreds of dollars less than its rivals yet it is loaded with features.The Tucson is not a sporty vehicle, but the V6 engine provides enough power to satisfy most people. Overall, the Tucson is the right sort of car for someone looking for a roomy entry-level vehicle that costs less than its rivals, yet includes plenty of state-of-the-art safety features, lots of comfort and convenience features along and an industry-leading warranty. New Car Test Drive correspondent John Rettie is based in Santa Barbara. |

Overview:
|
As the popularity of SUVs continues unabated, more people realize they don't need a large SUV and are opting for smaller models. Just a few years ago a small SUV was almost an oxymoron, then Toyota and Honda hit the market with the RAV4 and the CR-V, both of which became hits. Ford followed soon after with the Escape, which quickly became the top-selling small SUV. Now Hyundai enters the fray with the very well equipped 2005 Tucson, offering a viable alternative to the established models. As one would expect off a vehicle from Hyundai, the Tucson is attractively priced with the best warranty in the business. It's no barnstormer as far as performance goes but then neither are most of its competitors. Tucson comes standard with an impressive list of safety features. Electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, and traction control are all standard. Add to that six airbags, including side-impact airbags and curtain airbags designed to provide head protection for passengers in both rows. The Tucson is the lowest cost vehicle with that level of safety features. Bigger is better? Many might disagree with this statement and the Hyundai Tucson sets out to prove the point.
