2011 to 2015 Hyundai Sonata: Recall for a Seat Belt Problem

Last week, Transport Canada published a recall regarding the Hyundai Sonata midsize sedan, model years 2011 to 2015.

During assembly, it seems as though the connections between the front seat belts and the floor-mounted anchor pretensioners weren’t attached properly. In the event of a collision, the seat belt could detach and increase the risk of injury.
