Genesis Electrified G80 recalled

Genesis has recalled its electric G80 limousine to fix a problem with the seatbelt pre-tensioner.

“Due to a manufacturing issue, the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator may fracture when deployed in the event of an accident,” the company says in its recall notice.

“If the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator fractures, metal fragments may be propelled at high speed towards the vehicle occupants and could cause serious injury.”

• A total of 21 vehicles are included in the campaign, although only four cars that feature the issue are currently with customers

Genesis will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix.
