Hyundai Motor America is recalling 575 model year 2023 Genesis G90 vehicles because the front and rear seat belt pretensioners may explode during a crash. A pretensioner is the component that quickly tightens the seat belt during a collision to protect the occupant; in these vehicles, the device may malfunction upon deployment. Hyundai will notify owners to bring their vehicles to a Genesis dealer to have the pretensioners secured with a protective cap free of charge.
If the seat belt pretensioners explode, they can launch sharp metal fragments throughout the vehicle's interior. These fragments can strike the driver or passengers, causing serious lacerations or other significant injuries.
