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
- The original recall notice is attached here
- A VIN list of affected vehicles is attached here
Genesis will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix.
