US auto safety regulators have launched an investigation into a potential seat belt issue affecting approximately 332,288 Hyundai Palisade SUVs.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is looking into complaints that seat belts in certain 2020-2023 Palisade models can unexpectedly unlatch.
This poses a significant safety risk as it could result in complete loss of seat belt protection during a crash.
The investigation is in its preliminary stages.
The NHTSA will determine whether to proceed to a more in-depth engineering analysis before deciding if a recall is necessary.
