What's wrong?
The front seat belt pretensioner is part of the seat belt assembly in the 2020-2022 Hyundai Venue. In a crash, a small gas generator fires inside the pretensioner and quickly pulls slack out of the belt, helping hold the driver or passenger in position.
On affected Venue vehicles, the pretensioner pipe can become over pressurized during deployment in certain crashes. That pressure can make the pretensioner explode instead of staying contained inside the seat belt assembly. Hyundai's repair adds a cap that secures the micro gas generator and pretensioner pipe during deployment.
There is no warning sign before failure. The pretensioner is dormant until a crash deployment, so an owner will not feel a belt change or see a normal driving symptom that confirms the defect.
Who's affected?
The scope separates front seat belts and pretensioners, but both point to the same seat-belt assembly.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
An exploding seat belt pretensioner can send metal fragments into the cabin, strike occupants, and cause injury. There is no warning sign before failure, so treat an open VIN match as a reason to schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Hyundai dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2022 Hyundai Venue is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Hyundai dealer to schedule the free seat belt pretensioner cap repair that secures the pretensioner during deployment.
- Bring your recall notice to the appointment, or reference recall number 22V458 when you call.
- Tell the dealer if your Venue was repaired under Hyundai recall 231 or the earlier Venue pretensioner recall so the new remedy is completed.
- Call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 with questions about scheduling or the free repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Hyundai technician secures the front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners with a cap. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Venue vehicles already repaired under the earlier Venue pretensioner recall still need this new remedy completed, so a prior repair does not replace this visit. If you already paid out of pocket for a repair tied to this recall condition, Hyundai's reimbursement plan covers eligible documented expenses. Contact Hyundai customer service or bring your repair paperwork to the dealer service desk for claim guidance.

What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is injury from metal fragments inside the vehicle during a crash. The front driver-side or passenger-side seat belt pretensioner can explode when it deploys, sending fragments toward occupants. Hyundai's free dealer repair adds a cap to secure the pretensioner.
