Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2024 Hyundai Kona in Canada.
This recall is for certain rear center seat belt buckles that were installed during production or sold as a replacement part. On certain vehicles, the bracket that secures the rear center seat belt buckle may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the seat belt could detach in a crash.
A seat belt that detaches in a crash could increase the risk of injury.
To reduce the safety risk, Hyundai advises that you shouldn't transport a passenger in the rear center seat until the recall repairs are completed. Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the rear center seat belt buckle.
On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French.
These small errors do not affect vehicle safety.
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
On certain vehicles, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the EGR valve could short circuit and cause a loss of power to the wheels.
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the EGR valve.
On certain vehicles, in the event of a crash, the 12 V battery cable(s) could contact the engine control module bracket. If this happens, there could be a short circuit.
A short circuit could create the risk of a fire.
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install a protective cover on the 12 V battery and alternator positive wiring.
On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seat belt retractors may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the seat belts may not extend and/or retract correctly.
A seat belt that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the left and right-rear seat belt retractors, and replace them if necessary. Hyundai recommends that if you hear a noise when extending the seat belt or are unable to extend it, you should not transport a passenger in that seat, and you should contact a dealer immediately to have the vehicle inspected.
