Genesis Motor Australia is recalling 1723 examples of the G80, GV60, GV70 and GV80 to fix an issue that may result in flying metal fragments in a crash.
This recall affects Genesis G80, GV60, GV70, and GV80 models produced between 2019 and 2023.
“Due to a manufacturing issue, the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator cap may fracture when deployed in the event of an accident,” said the company in its recall notice.
“If the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator cap fractures, metal fragments may be propelled at high speed towards the vehicle occupants and could cause serious injury.”
