What Happened

The seat belt pretensioner is a critical safety component that tightens your seat belt during a crash. In certain 2020-2022 Accent, Elantra, and Elantra HEV models, this part can explode when it's supposed to deploy, sending sharp metal fragments into the vehicle.

Risk if Unfixed

If the seat belt pretensioner explodes, it could shoot metal shards into the cabin and harm you or your passengers. This is a serious injury risk, and we want to address it immediately.
