Hyundai and Genesis front seat belt anchors may detach
high How serious is it? About this label
A seat belt that fails in a crash greatly increases injury risk, but the notice does not tell owners to stop driving the vehicle.
What's wrong, in plain English
On certain Hyundai Ioniq 6, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid and Genesis G90 vehicles, the anchor that holds the driver's or front passenger's seat belt to the car can come loose and detach. If that happens, the seat belt cannot hold the person in place during a crash, so it will not protect them the way it should. Dealers will inspect the anchors and either reinforce or replace them at no charge.
