Survey reports that only two in five shops are being paid for necessary seat belt inspections, whereas some shops may not even be completing the inspections.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, federal regulators should amend vehicle safety standards to require a visual display that alerts drivers when passengers in rear seats are not wearing their seat belt.
The 2011-2014 Sonata and 2011-2015 Sonata Hybrid recall will begin October 2017 when shops will verify the connections between the seat belt linkages and the pretensioners, and additionally install warning labels to prevent future seat belt linkage detachments.
