What's wrong, in plain English
Hyundai is recalling certain Genesis GV80, G80, GV70 and GV60 vehicles. In a crash, the part that tightens the front seat belt can explode when it goes off. This can affect the driver side belt, the passenger side belt, or both. Dealers will secure these parts with a cap. This recall replaces and expands an earlier recall, so vehicles that were already repaired under that earlier one need the new repair as well.
What you should do
2. Contact a Genesis dealer, or call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 (Hyundai's recall number is 012G); the repair is free of charge.
3. GV60 owners were sent an interim letter about the safety risk and will receive a second notice once the final repair is available.
