Buying a used 2022 Hyundai Santa FE Plug-In Hybrid? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 27 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

Five recalls cover this plug-in hybrid, two of them serious: a fuel tank that may leak and a tow hitch fire risk Hyundai flagged as park-outside until repaired. A seat belt part can also explode, per the recall. The rest are convenience-level — an upside-down gauge display and a rearview camera that may not appear. Only 27 NHTSA owner complaints are on file (unverified reports), with two crashes and no fires or injuries; engine, electrical and fuel items lead that small list.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Run the VIN for open recalls — both fire-related ones (fuel tank, tow hitch) should show as completed.
3. Ask whether the seat belt part recall was done, and check the belts operate normally.
4. Start the car and confirm the backup camera displays and the gauge cluster reads right-side up.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
