Buying a used 2022 Hyundai Santa FE Hybrid? Check these 4 recalls first
The 2022 Santa Fe Hybrid repeats the prior year's recalls — tow hitch fire risk with a park-outside instruction, a seat belt part that can explode, and a rearview camera that may not display — and adds a gauge display that can appear upside down. Owner reports remain modest at 37, split evenly between power train and engine (13 each) plus eight electrical. Two crashes appear in those unverified reports, with no fires or injuries recorded.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for recall paperwork on the tow hitch and seat belt items.
- Start the vehicle and confirm the instrument cluster renders right side up.
- Check the backup camera and look for hybrid drivetrain warning messages.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
