South Korea's largest automaker, Hyundai Motor Co., has recalled 190,000 cars with faulty airbags in the United States, a news agency report said Saturday.

Hyundai recalled 190,000 Elantra passenger cars sold between 2006 and 2008 in the US as they have defective airbag sensors, Yonhap news agency said.

The recall is expected to begin next month, it said.

Recall repairs will be provided at dealer service centres, it added.
