Hyundai Motor America is recalling 72,470 model year 2020-2022 Venues.

The automobile manufacturer said that the  front driver-side and/or passenger-side seat belt pretensioners may explode upon deployment in a crash.

The company also noted that an exploding seat belt pretensioner can project metal fragments into the vehicle that strike vehicle occupants and result in injuries.

In regard to what to do in rectifying the error, Hyundai Motors noted the dealers would secure the seat belt pretensioners with a cap at no cost to vehicle owners.

Venues repaired under a previous recall need to have the new remedy completed.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 26, 2022.

Affected vehicle owners may contact Hyundai Customer Service on (855) 371-9460.

Hyundai’s number for this recall is 231.
