    Genesis has recalled its electric G80 limousine to fix a problem with the seatbelt pre-tensioner.

    “Due to a manufacturing issue, the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator may fracture when deployed in the event of an accident,” the company says in its recall notice.

    “If the seat belt pre-tensioner inflator fractures, metal fragments may be propelled at high speed towards the vehicle occupants and could cause serious injury.”

    • A total of 21 vehicles are included in the campaign, although only four cars that feature the issue are currently with customers
