Hyundai recalls Accent, Elantra over “exploding” seatbelts | Autoindustriya

Usually, seatbelt pretensioners work by "detonating" a small charge that retracts the belt to secure the passenger milliseconds before a crash. However, for the affected Accent and Elantra models, the explosion may not be contained and potentially send shrapnel into the cabin. In fact, there were reports of two injuries in the US and a single case in Singapore attributed to the said malfunction.
There's no word yet from Hyundai Philippines if they are part of the seatbelt pretensioner recall. And if ever they give an official advisory, we'll be sure to let you know.
