Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) has issued a recall (22V-816)<\/a> affecting certain 2023 Genesis G80 Electric, 2021-2022 Santa Fe Hybrid, and 2022-2023 Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. These vehicles have front driver-side and\/or passenger-side seat belt pretensioners that could explode under certain deployment conditions. <\/p>\n

This is the seventh recall issued by Hyundai for seat belt pretensioner problems. Hyundai has determined that the subject vehicles were manufactured with driver\/passenger pyrotechnic-type seat belt pretensioners that may deploy abnormally in certain crashes due to over pressurization of the pretensioner pipe. The potential of a pretensioner exploding is dependent on vehicle characteristics, pretensioner load limiter specifications, airbag control unit logic, crash duration and severity. <\/p>\n

\n

Hyundai first became aware of the problem in September 2021, when they were contacted by the NHTSA\u2019s ODI about an incident involving a 2021 model year Hyundai Elantra. The driver-side seat belt pretensioner allegedly deployed abnormally, causing metal fragments to enter the rear cabin and injuring an occupant\u2019s leg. The NHTSA was notified of the incident by a law firm representing the operator of the incident vehicle. <\/p>\n

According to the defect report, the front driver-side and\/or passenger-side seat belt pretensioners in the subject vehicles were installed from a suspect production lot containing pyrotechnic-type pretensioners that may deploy abnormally during a crash. At the time, the cause of the abnormal deployment was unknown. Hyundai decided to recall vehicles equipped with pretensioners produced within the same production lot.<\/p>\n
