Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Recalled Again Due to Fire Risk
shares of the news story
To correct a defective element that could start a fire, Hyundai is recalling more than 150,000 Santa Fe Sport SUVs from the 2013 through 2015 model years. As a temporary solution, the automaker advises owners to keep their cars outdoors and away from buildings.
The problem stems from the possibility of brake fluid leaking into the antilock braking system (ABS) module, which might result in a short circuit and ignite a fire inside the engine compartment of the car while it is moving or when it is stopped. Owners may notice smoke emerging from the engine compartment, a burning or melting smell, and an illuminated ABS or check-engine light on the dashboard prior to a fire, according to Hyundai.
The latest in a string of Hyundai and Kia vehicle recalls involving fires, this is the second time these particular vehicles have been subject to a recall. In a written statement, Hyundai stated that three more car fires have occurred since the initial recall was issued, bringing the total number of vehicle fires connected to this recall to 18 so far.
This time, a fuse in the vehicle’s ABS system will be changed, Hyundai representative Michael Stewart informs CR. The brand-new fuse will stop a short circuit from happening.
Two Kia vehicles that are now the subject of a separate recall were also included in the initial recall campaign: the 2014 and 2015 Sorento SUV and the 2013 through 2015 Optima Sedan.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into Hyundai and Kia vehicles that use a 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine design, known as the Theta II, that both companies share after receiving more than 3,000 reports of fires and a petition from the advocacy group Center for Auto Safety. The fires are also the subject of a class action lawsuit. Hyundai and Kia vehicles have previously been recalled due to issues with their oil pans, catalytic converters, fuel and oil leaks, and engines.
Stewart informs CR that this specific recall has not been associated with any collisions, injuries, or further property damage and that past recalls involving defective ABS modules included “other vendors and root causes for the faults.”
Hyundai has recalled the Santa Fe because the instrument panel screen is broken.
Due to a disagreement with internal resistors, the vehicle’s LCD instrument cluster screen may display an inverted image as a result of voltage fluctuations when operating at extremely low ambient temperatures, according to the company’s recall notice.
Vehicle occupants and other road users may be injured or killed in an accident if the LCD instrument cluster is not shown as it should be.

You must bring your affected vehicle to a Hyundai dealership to have the instrument cluster replaced and free of charge updated with the new software if you own one.
Due to a Fire Risk, the Hyundai Santa Fe is being recalled in 2022.
Although the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is a well-liked SUV, there are some shortcomings. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for it. It has a problem that you probably would prefer it didn’t have: the pipe connection has a fuel leak. How does your Hyundai SUV fit into this recall? There’s a possibility that it will catch fire. Here’s how to find out if the recall affects your 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV and what to do if it is.

How can I find out whether a Hyundai is under recall?
Check the following to see if your Hyundai has any recalls:
- NHTSA Campaign Number: a number used to identify a recall
- Information on the recall, including the models affected, the locations where they were sold or registered, and any problems or components that may compromise safety or fall short of minimal requirements
- Consequences: how the recall can impair the vehicle’s functionality and safety
- Solution: How the issue can be resolved (by repair, replacement, or refund) and how to get in touch with Hyundai for support.
Hyundai has recalls that expire?
From John Paul, here are some further details about auto recalls:
- Recalls typically don’t have an expiration date. They will also change hands from one owner to the next. Even though you were not the owner at the time of the recall, you are still entitled to the repair if you purchase a used automobile and later learn it has an open recall.
- The manufacturer might demand a price for the repair after the car is ten years old.
- A recall does not necessarily indicate that a car is of bad quality. It simply indicates that a component needs to be replaced since it is faulty or performing poorly. It does not constitute a criticism of the car as a whole.
- Recalls and extended warranties are not the same (sometimes referred to as secret warranties). In the latter, a component may not last as long as it should, in which case the manufacturer may decide to extend the warranty for that specific component. Volkswagen, for instance, informed some owners of specific models via letters that the ignition switch warranty had been increased to 10 years or 100,000 miles. Since the ignition switch did not need to be fixed, the vehicle was not subject to a recall.
Why do Hyundai recalls happen so frequently?
Concerns that they could catch fire if parked inside have led to the recall of more than 280,000 Hyundai and Kia automobiles. The issue resulted in 25 flames or melting accidents in the United States and Canada, however there were no collisions or injuries recorded by the automakers.
Which Hyundai SUV has a recall on it?
Owners must leave their vehicles outside and away from buildings until they can receive a free repair.
More vehicles from Kia and Hyundai are being recalled owing to a fire danger, and owners of all 2020–2022 Hyundai Palisade SUVs and some 2020–2022 Kia Telluride SUVs are being advised to park outdoors and away from buildings. The two recalls include more than 281,000 automobiles.
This time, the issue is with defective wire harnesses for trailer hitches, which have already caused at least 25 instances of fires and/or melting, some of which occurred when the cars were switched off. The recalled hitches were either factory-installed or bought from Kia and Hyundai dealers.
Both automakers claim that a patch is being developed for the issue but that it isn’t yet ready.
Debris accumulating on a printed circuit board within the trailer hitch can result in a short circuit and a fire, which is the problem. Even though some vehicles encountered more serious fires, melting is the main complaint sent to the OEMs.
In records submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Hyundai stated that in addition to eight melting occurrences in Canada and eight more in the United States, it is aware of three associated fires in Canada but none in the United States. Six fires were mentioned by Kia, five of which only resulted in “localized melting.” According to NHTSA paperwork, no accidents or injuries related to either recall have been reported.
With a 33.88 percent stake, Hyundai Motor Company is Kia Motors’ largest stakeholder. Both automakers use the same suppliers, parts, and designs. Both Hyundai and Kia have issued numerous fire-related recalls in recent years, affecting more than 3.7 million vehicles. They included leaks of brake fluid, fuel, and oil as well as concerns with the ABS sensor, hydraulic brake components, and engines.
Following an investigation by NHTSA, which found that Hyundai and Kia had delayed earlier fire-related recalls, the automakers were hit with civil fines totaling $210 million in 2020.
