More than 5200 cars are involved in the recall of the i30 Sedans which, due to a manufacturing issue, could see the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator fracture when deployed in the event of an accident.
If the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator fractures, metal fragments may be propelled at high speed towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Hyundai Motor Company Australia in writing, requesting to make an appointment with their preferred authorised Hyundai dealership to have the component inspected and rectified, free of charge.
