Buying a used 2022 Hyundai Santa FE? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 198 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

Three of the five recalls involve fire risk from leaks — fuel, oil, and the tow hitch, the last with a park-outside advisory until repaired. A separate recall covers a sudden loss of all drive power, and one addresses a rearview camera that may not display. Of 198 unverified owner complaints to NHTSA, powertrain (57) and engine (53) lead, which lines up with the drive-power recall; 8 crashes, 1 fire and 3 injuries are reported.

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. Confirm all three fire-risk recalls (fuel leak, oil leak, tow hitch) were repaired.
3. Look under the vehicle and in the engine bay for fuel or oil seepage.
4. Drive it long enough to check for hesitation or loss of drive power.
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.
