Hyundai has issued a recall for the Tucson model that affects around more than 120,000 crossover utility vehicles in South Korea and around 140,000 in the U.S.

The vehicles may have problematic airbags that come loose from the steering wheel and increase the risk of injury, Reuters reported.

"In the affected vehicles, the airbag assembly installed in the steering wheel may come loose from its mounting," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in its summary of the problem, as quoted by Edmunds.com. "An airbag assembly that is not properly mounted may result in an increased risk of injury to the driver in the event of a crash."

The recalled vehicles were built from Jan. 3, 2011 through Dec. 23, 2013.

While no accidents or injuries have been reported in connection with the issue, Hyundai has heard of 141 incidents where bolts were not properly tightened, Edmunds reported.

Some of the bolts that keep the driver's airbag module attached to the steering wheel were not properly applied during assembly and can become loose, causing a rattling noise. Of the 141 reported incidents, most came from vehicles that had been driven for a little more than a year.

Hyundai hasn't specified how much it will spend on the recall, which is expected to start in June.

Concerned owners can contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151; however, any consumers who notice a rattling noise in their Tucson vehicles should probably take their cars in for repairs before the recall notice arrives, according to Edmunds.
