Hyundai to recall 390,000 Sonata cars in U.S.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co, South Korea's top auto maker, said on Wednesday it plans to recall some 390,000 units of the Sonata sedan in the United States to fix a defect in the cars' air bag systems.

The recall covers 2006-2008 model year Sonatas that were produced at its Alabama factory, Hyundai spokesman Jake Jang said in a telephone interview.

There have been no injury reports related to the problem, he said.
