SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
A seat belt buckle that fails to properly restrain an occupant in a crash increases the risk of injury.
3 safety recall campaigns, 9 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A seat belt buckle that fails to properly restrain an occupant in a crash increases the risk of injury.
A loss of vehicle steering control increases the risk of a crash.
An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash.
Two 2026 HYUNDAI KONAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
