FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai launched a dramatic new awareness campaign today, aimed at warning American drivers of the risks involved when using counterfeit automotive parts.
  
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that vehicle owners work with their automotive dealers and repair professionals to ensure appropriate original equipment parts are used in the event they need a new airbag.
  
Hyundai is tackling the issue of counterfeit, aftermarket, salvaged and recycled auto parts through a consumer awareness campaign, highlighting the differences between non-Hyundai and Hyundai Genuine Parts. The integrated media, advertising and public relations campaign will focus on safety and resale value. Hyundai is launching a series of videos, which can be found on the Hyundai USA's YouTube channel or at HyundaiUSA.com/ConsumerAwareness. The first video in the series is titled "Don't Gamble with Counterfeit Parts." The videos and dealership displays with examples of original and fake parts will help consumers see the differences first hand. In addition, Hyundai will be communicating the consumer awareness campaign via e-mail to its current owners.  Use the link below to download broadcast and web quality footage from the Hyundai campaign to educate Americans on the danger of counterfeit auto parts: http://www.hyundainews.com/us/en/media/videos/44978.
