What's wrong?
The seat belt pretensioner in the 2023 Genesis G90 is part of the restraint system that tightens the belt during a crash. It uses a small gas generator to pull slack out of the belt so the driver or passenger stays positioned against the seat and air bag path.
On affected G90 vehicles, the pretensioner pipe can become over pressurized in certain crashes. That pressure can cause the front driver-side, front passenger-side, or rear pretensioner to explode when it deploys. Genesis identifies the added cap as the part that secures the micro gas generator and pretensioner pipe during deployment.
There is no warning sign before failure. You would not hear, feel, or see this problem during normal driving because the defect appears when the pretensioner activates in a crash.
