Hyundai Recalls 281K Vehicles

Hyundai Motor America said it will recall 281,000 vehicles in North America over seat belt pretensioners that could explode and project metal fragments, causing injuries.

The recall, which comes after three injury reports, covers some 2019-2022 Accent, 2021-2023 Elantra, and 2021-2022 Elantra hybrid vehicles. In the event of a crash, front driver or passenger-side seat-belt pretensioners could explode upon deployment. Dealers will secure seat-belt pretensioners with a cap.

Hyundai Continues Discontinuations?

Hyundai Motor Group is speculated to retire the Sonata midsize sedan, closing more than a three-decade run in the U.S., according to multiple sources.

“It’s likely the sedan will get one more refresh in 2025 but will not live past 2027 or 2028,” said Jesse Toprak, chief economist for Autonomy. Kia’s midsize sedan, the K5, formerly the Optima, shares the same platform with the Sonata and will likely be phased out as well.

Hyundai maintains such reports are speculation.

Toyota Suspends More Production

Toyota Motor Corp. is suspending more production due to parts shortages caused by the COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai, a sign that supply-chain bottlenecks could persist even as the city starts to gradually reopen. Toyota’s global production plan for June stands at about 850,000 vehicles, 250,000 of which will be made in Japan and the rest overseas. This represents a cut of about 100,000 vehicles for June worldwide.

“The shortage of semiconductors, spread of COVID-19 and other factors are making it difficult to look ahead,” Toyota said in the statement. “Due to parts supply shortages caused by the lockdown in Shanghai, we have decided to suspend operations in May and in June.”
