2022 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Recalls — Canada & USA

Recalls 1, 3, and 4 describe the same underlying defect (exploding front seatbelt pretensioners) filed across multiple campaigns. Recall 2 only affects Elantra HEV (hybrid) models. Recall 5 is the airbag emblem issue. I'll treat the pretensioner issue as one defect, note the hybrid-only scope for the acceleration recall, and group the two occupant-safety items thematically. The 2022 Hyundai Elantra has 5 recalls, the most serious being seatbelt pretensioners on the front driver and passenger sides that can explode in a crash, sending metal fragments into the cabin and striking occupants. On the hybrid model only, a software error in the motor control unit can cause the vehicle to accelerate unexpectedly after the driver lifts off the brake, raising the risk of a crash. There is also an airbag concern: the plastic emblem on the steering wheel airbag cover can break free and turn into a projectile when the airbag deploys in a crash.
