Hyundai is recalling its 2020-22 Venue due to an issue 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.”
