(Reuters) – Hyundai Motor America is recalling 294,128 vehicles in the U.S. due to a defect that could cause seat belt anchors to detach, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.
Here are some details:
- The recall covers Hyundai Ioniq 6, Genesis G90, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid vehicles, the NHTSA said.
- A detached seat belt anchor may fail to properly restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury in a crash, according to the auto regulator.
- The agency said that dealers will inspect and reinforce or replace the seat belt anchors, as necessary.
