5 recalls covering model years 2022. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Hyundai vehicles have a damaged printed circuit board in the rearview camera. Because of this, the rearview camera image may fail to display. This means the vehicle does not meet a federal safety standard for rear visibility.
Certain Hyundai Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid, and Santa Cruz vehicles equipped with a tow hitch wiring harness, either installed at the factory or added later through a Hyundai dealership, may allow water to build up on a circuit board inside the harness module. This buildup can cause an electrical short, which can result in a fire.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
The fuel tank may have been molded incorrectly, which can cause a fuel leak.
On certain Santa Fe Hybrid and Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid vehicles, the front seat belt pretensioner, on the driver's side, the passenger's side, or both, can explode when it deploys during a crash. An exploding pretensioner can send small metal fragments flying inside the vehicle. These fragments can strike the driver or passengers and cause injury. This applies to the front seat belts only.
Hyundai is recalling certain Santa Fe Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid vehicles because the instrument cluster display may show an inverted, upside-down image when the vehicle is started. This can make the display illegible, so the driver may not be able to read important information such as the vehicle's speed or safety system warning messages, since the screen may be difficult to view correctly.
