Hyundai Motor America is recalling approximately 1,535 of its 2025 IONIQ 5 vehicles because the seat belt retractors for the driver and front passenger seats may not be securely fastened. If the retractors are loose, the seat belts may fail to function correctly during a crash, which prevents the occupant from being properly restrained. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect and tighten the retractors as necessary at no cost to the owner.
