The 1997 Hyundai Tiburon has 2 recalls, both addressing the same issue: front seatbelts that can twist and bind in their upper door pillar guides, making the belts awkward to put on and increasing the chance an occupant skips wearing one properly.
When a seatbelt is difficult to pull out or stow, drivers and passengers are less likely to buckle up correctly, which raises the risk of injury in a crash.
