Buying a used 2024 Hyundai Santa FE? Check these 7 recalls first
This model year carries seven recalls, weighted toward safety systems: a starter cover fire risk in a crash, a vehicle that may roll away while in Park, wiring that can cause airbag problems, and front seat belt anchors that may detach. Two more cover backup camera failures and one a rear sunshade button. Among 145 unverified owner complaints to NHTSA, powertrain (41) and electrical (28) lead, plus 15 on forward collision avoidance; 11 crashes and 9 injuries are reported.
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.
- Park on a slight incline and confirm it holds in Park without creeping.
- Check both backup camera recalls were done, and test the camera over several starts.
- Confirm the seat belt anchor and airbag wiring recalls were completed on this VIN.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
