2023 Genesis GV60 Seat Belt Retractor May Fail to Fasten Properly

Hyundai is recalling certain 2023 Genesis GV60 vehicles because the automatic locking retractor for the front passenger-side seat belt may fail to fasten or extend properly, preventing adequate occupant restraint in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural seat belt defect that poses a significant risk of injury in a crash by preventing proper occupant restraint. However, the source text reports no deaths, injuries, or serious injury incidents—only a potential hazard. Per the rubric, 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' score as High (3).

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2023 Genesis GV60 vehicles due to a defect in the automatic locking retractor for the front passenger-side seat belt. The retractor may prohibit the seat belt from fastening and/or extending properly.

A seat belt that fails to fasten or extend properly may not adequately restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. The recalled vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 208 (Occupant Crash Protection) and 209 (Seat Belt Assemblies).

Dealers will inspect and replace the front passenger-side seat belt, as necessary, at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 14, 2023. Owners can contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 or NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
