5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies two Hood Latch recalls and one Seat Belt recall for the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. A corroded or binding secondary hood latch cable may leave the latch unengaged, allowing the hood to open unexpectedly while driving and increasing crash risk. Damaged front seat belt buckle harness wires may also prevent the audible seat belt warning from working, increasing the chance that an occupant forgets to buckle up and suffers injury in a crash. Waiting can leave these safety concerns unresolved. A free VIN check and prompt recall appointment offer a reassuring next step.
