## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor America \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain 2021\-2022 Elantra and 2020 Accent vehicles.  In the event of a crash, the front driver and passenger\-side seat belt pretensioners may explode upon deployment.


## What can happen

Exploding seat belt pretensioners can project metal fragments into the vehicle, strike vehicle occupants, and result in injury.

Dealers will replace the seat belt pretensioners, free of charge.  Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed on May 31, 2022. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available.  Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-855\-371\-9460.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 223.  This recall is replaced by NHTSA recall number 22V\-354.  Vehicles already repaired under this recall will need to have the new remedy completed.
