⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Hyundai is recalling certain Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, and Santa Fe XL vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System module in these vehicles could malfunction and cause an electrical short. This electrical short could result in a fire in the engine compartment, whether the vehicle is parked or being driven, which can increase the risk of injury.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Certain Hyundai Santa Fe Sport vehicles have side curtain airbags with a part that may come loose when the airbag deploys in a crash. If this part detaches, the curtain airbag may not inflate the way it's supposed to. It's also possible for the loose part to end up inside the vehicle where passengers are sitting.
The front coil springs on these vehicles may not have been made correctly. Because of this, a spring can fracture, or break, while the vehicle is being driven under certain loads. A broken spring can puncture the tire, which can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
