On certain vehicles, there may be a problem with the front seat belt pretensioners. As a result, the driver and/or passenger seat belt pretensioners could explode in a crash. If this happens, small pieces of metal could hit people in the vehicle.

Note: This recall replaces RC160 \(Transport Canada recall 2022\-102\) and only affects Sorento Hybrid \(HEV\) and Sorento Plug\-In Hybrid \(PHEV\) models.

Safety Risk:

A seat belt pretensioner that explodes could create a risk of injury.
