Weeks after multiple recalls for rear seat safety in the Palisade SUV, Hyundai is having some more seat belt woes. The company has just announced a recall covering nearly 300,000 units of the Ioniq 6 and the Hyundai Santa Fe, as well as one Genesis model. The recall is to deal with seat belt anchors that could separate from the vehicle. Bad Installations Could Break Belt Attachment Hyundai According to documents filed with the NHTSA, Hyundai ran into a problem with what it calls the snap-on anchor in the driver and front passenger belts. This anchor helps hold the seat belt buckle to the seat frame, making it a crucial part of the vehicle's safety system.The NHTSA reports show that Hyundai's North American Safety Office first received a report of a problem in September 2025. It's not clear exactly what happened to the vehicle that brought it to the owner's attention, however. Subsequently, Hyundai opened an investigation into the 2025 Santa Fe, looking for the source of the problem and to find out if it was a wider issue.Since then, Hyundai has learned of at least six vehicles that have experienced the detachment issue. There are no injuries or fatalities linked to the seat belt problem, Hyundai told regulators. It's not clear if any belts have detached in a collision yet.What Hyundai discovered was that the problem came from vehicle service and repairs. The company's safety office confirmed that "forceful removal of the snap-on anchor" could lead to damage and the potential for seat belt detachment. Over A Quarter-Million Hyundai, Genesis Models Involved Nicole Wakelin/CarBuzz/Valnet The first reports were from 2025 model year Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs, but Hyundai says the same anchor was used across multiple models and years. The list of recalled vehicles includes the 2023-2026 Genesis G90, 2023-2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6, and the 2024-2026 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid.Hyundai and Genesis techs will inspect the lower seat belt anchor and apply a reinforcement to make sure it can't break during future installs or removals. If it's already been damaged, the dealer will replace the entire seat belt assembly, which includes the anchor. A new anchor was introduced into new-build vehicles in March.Letters to customers will go out starting in June. Owners can search for their VIN through Hyundai (or Genesis) as well as the NHTSA already. Though if the front seats haven't been removed there appears to be little risk now, owners should still get the recall fix completed once they get their notice.Hyundai has also just announced a fix for the power rear seats in the new Palisade. It is sending out an over-the-air update to change how the power-folding seats function after at least one associated death and several minor injuries.This is the latest in several belt-related recalls for Hyundai recently. The Palisade also had a seat belt recall this year for a third row belt that could become damaged and fail to signal the dashboard belt reminder. That followed a recall of more than 568,000 Palisades, essentially the entire 2020-2025 generation, because the front- and second-row belts could fail to latch in cold temperatures.
