Buying a used 2025 Hyundai Santa FE Hybrid? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid has three recalls, none with a stop-driving or park-outside instruction: side curtain airbags possibly installed wrong, front seat belt anchors that may detach, and a backup camera image that may not appear. Two of the three are restraint-related. Owner reports total 88 for a recent model year, led by engine (29), electrical (27) and fuel/propulsion (22), with 20 on vehicle speed control; they include four crashes and seven injuries.
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.
- Confirm the curtain airbag and seat belt anchor recalls were performed on this VIN.
- Tug firmly on the front seat belt anchors and check for movement.
- Test the backup camera repeatedly and note any surging or hesitation while driving.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
