The issue in the 2020 to 2025 midsize crossover SUVs stems from seat belt assembly components not made within specifications, Hyundai said in recall documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Defective belts may be present in the driver, passenger and second-row window seats.
The South Korean automaker said it’s unaware of any crashes or injuries related to the flaw. Until owners take the vehicles to dealers for repair, it advises them to fasten the belts firmly and quickly, pulling on them to ensure they’re secure.
Hyundai dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies and replace them if needed. The company is scheduled to mail recall notices to owners on Nov. 10.
Meanwhile, Toyota’s recall involves potential instrument panel failure so that indicators and warnings, such as speed, brakes and tire pressure, wouldn’t display.
The Japanese automaker, which has gotten hundreds of warranty claims related to the issue, said in NHTSA recall documents that it isolated the issue to a monitor software error.
It recalled certain 2023 to 2024 Toyota Venzas, 2023 to 2025 RAV4 Primes, RAV4s, Highlanders, GR Corollas and Crowns, 2024 to 2025 Lexus TX, LS, Toyota Tacomas and Grand Highlanders, and 2025 Lexus RXs, Toyota Crown Signias, Camrys, RAV 4 Plug-in Hybrids and 4 Runners.
Toyota dealers will update the instrument panel software for non-PHEV models and inspect the panel assembly in the others and replace the assembly or update its software as needed.
The company is scheduled to mail recall notices to owners on Oct. 27.
