Hyundai is calling back a number of 2010 to 2016 Genesis Coupes for an issue with the passenger seat air bag sensor.

A total of 84,000 cars are being called back for an issue with the electrical connector in the passenger seat that can lead to an airbag malfunction. If the connection becomes undone, the airbag can inflate when a child is in the seat or it can deploy with too little force to properly protect and adult.

Hyundai says that no injuries have been reported as a result of the problem.

Hyundai dealers will secure the wiring to make sure that it stays connected.
