Hyundai Recalls 47,000+ Vehicles Over Seatbelt Malfunction Risk

S. due to a potential seatbelt defect that could prevent the restraint system from properly protecting passengers during a crash. The recall, announced this week, affects specific models from the 2024 and 2025 model years, including popular sedans and SUVs. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue stems from a faulty pretensioner mechanism in the front seatbelts.

The defect may cause the seatbelt to fail to tighten automatically in a collision, increasing the risk of injury. Hyundai says the problem was discovered during internal testing and no crashes or injuries have been reported so far. Affected owners will receive notification letters starting in late March, and dealers will inspect and replace the seatbelt assemblies free of charge.

The automaker is urging drivers to check their vehicle’s recall status on the NHTSA website or by contacting their local dealer.
