What is being recalled
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2014 Sonata and 2011-2015 Sonata Hybrid vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the seat belt linkages for both front seat belts may detach from the seat belt anchor pretensioners.
Why it is dangerous
In the event of a crash, if the seat belts detach from the anchor pretensioners, it can increase the risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Hyundai will notify owners and dealers will inspect the connection between the seat belt linkages and the seat belt anchor pretensioners, repairing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 7, 2017. Owner's may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for the recall is 160.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 17V-152 when calling a dealer.
