Overview
- Hyundai Motor America issued a U.S. recall covering roughly 294,000 vehicles across the 2023–2025 Ioniq 6, 2024–2026 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid, and 2023–2026 Genesis G90.
- The defect involves a damaged snap-on lower anchor that can detach from the seat frame, leaving a front seat belt unsecured and raising injury risk in a crash.
- Dealers will inspect the anchor and either install a reinforcement or replace the seat belt assembly at no cost, with notification letters set to reach owners in early June.
- Hyundai says it has six U.S. complaints tied to loose anchors and reports no related injuries or deaths, and the recall covers front-seat belts only.
- Hyundai incorporated a redesigned anchor in new production by March 2026, and owners who already paid for related repairs can request reimbursement.
