This is not good.
Automaker Hyundai has just announced a recall on over 239,000 vehicles due to exploding seatbelt pretensioner.
According to Fox, the vehicles highlight in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration include the Hyundai Accents which were made between 2019 and 2022, Hyundai Elantras made between 2021-2023, and Elantra HEVs made between 2021 and 2022.
The NHTSA further explained, “An exploding seat belt pretensioner can project metal fragments into vehicle, strike vehicle occupants, and result in injury.”
This is Hyundai’s second recall in three months. The previous recall was made to prevent a malfunction which made their vehicles spontaneously catch fire.
