LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Hyundai is recalling 137,500 Tucson SUVs due to airbag issues.

The company says the air bags aren't properly mounted to the steering wheel, which could cause them to come loose and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The recall involves 2011-2014 model years. The affected vehicles were built between Jan. 3, 2011, and Dec. 23, 2013. Hyundai plans to notify owners.

The company discovered the issue through warranty claims. No injuries or accidents have been reported.

Hyundai dealers will repair the air bag assembly for free starting next month.
