The majority of the most recent auto recalls, which affect 107,436 vehicles countrywide, involve Hyundai. The Korean automaker said that some of its most recent Genesis models have defective seat belt components that rupture in an accident.
The remaining recalled automobiles in this week’s roundup are made by luxury manufacturers Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
New recalls are added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s database. You may use the NHTSA to check for recalls using the VIN of your car. For more information, get in touch with the manufacturer of your car.
NHTSA records state that Hyundai is recalling 65,517 of its Genesis SUVs and sedans due to a problem that could lead to a portion of the seat belt pretensioner exploding.
With some collisions, the seat belt pretensioner may overpressurize and detonate. According to the NHTSA assessment, the explosion might unleash flying metal shards that could endanger the safety of everyone within the car.
