Issue:
On certain vehicles, the wiring for the third-row left-hand (driver's side) seat belt buckle could become damaged when the buckle is pulled. As a result, the seat belt status indicator in the instrument panel may incorrectly show that a seat belt is buckled when it's not.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt status indicator that doesn't work correctly could create confusion. Not wearing a seat belt increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install an extension to the wiring harness. The dealer will replace the seat belt buckle assembly, if necessary.
Over-the-air fixSeats and restraints
2026-03-17 · campaign 2026-121
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the second and third-row seats may not detect an obstruction when the power folding functions are used, including when using the automatic power folding (stow) or the one-touch tilt-and-slide (walk-in) features. If this happens, the seat(s) may not stop moving even if there's an obstruction.
Safety Risk:
A seat that doesn't stop moving could increase the risk of injury.
Corrective actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Hyundai advises you to ensure the seats are empty before using any power folding function and not to use the one-touch tilt-and-slide (walk-in) feature when entering or exiting the third-row seats. Hyundai will notify owners in writing and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the seat controller and audio, visual, navigation software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Hyundai dealership.
