2023 Genesis GV60: Seat Belts recall

What's wrong

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2023 Genesis GV60 vehicles. The automatic locking retractor for the front passenger-side seat belt may prohibit the seat belt from fastening and/or extending properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Why it matters

A seat belt that fails to fasten or extend properly may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and replace the front passenger-side seat belt, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 14, 2023. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 015G.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
