Hyundai Motor Co HYMTF will recall 281,000 vehicles in North America over fears of seat-belt pretensioners exploding, Reuters reported.
The report noted that there were three injury reports caused by the explosion of seat-belt pretensioners, projecting the metal fragments.
The recall will include some 2019-2022 Accent, 2021-2023 Elantra, and 2021-2022 Elantra hybrid vehicles.
Seat-belt pretensioners help lock the seatbelt in place during a crash, providing security to occupants.
