Ford Expedition seatbelt pretensioner recall ends
2019 Ford Expedition owners complained about seatbelt pretensioners suddenly activating. August 1, 2024 — The Ford Expedition recall prompted the government to close an investigation into seatbelt pretensioners in 2019 Ford Expeditions that activated for no apparent reason. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into the Ford Expedition in November 2023 after owners complained about unexpected deployment of the seatbelt pretensioners. Seatbelt pretensioners help protect occupants in certain crashes. In a frontal collision, the pretensioners pull the seatbelt towards the occupant's body for a split second. Retractable pretensioners pull the shoulder belt and, in some collisions, pull it closer to the body. Ford Expedition owners sometimes hear a loud pop before the torso seat belts tighten. This is how the pretensioners are supposed to activate, but they don't unless there's a crash. According to NHTSA: "Investigations have revealed that some seatbelt pretensioners may develop corroded detonator pins where the bridge wire (heating element of the pyrotechnic device)…

Hyundai recalls 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid SUVs
Nearly 50,000 SUVs may have airbags that fail to deploy when needed or deploy for no apparent reason. August 1, 2024 — Hyundai is recalling nearly 50,000 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid SUVs because the vehicles' air bags may not deploy in a crash or the air bags may deploy suddenly for no apparent reason. The recalled 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) may have an issue with the main floor wiring harness. These floor harnesses can rub against the passenger side second row bench seat assembly and become damaged.

In April, the rear side airbags of the 2024 Santa Fe in South Korea deployed, which caused Hyundai's concern. The automaker has launched investigations in South Korea and North America so that engineers can find out the problem. Hyundai determined that the…
