Defect

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch actuating cable may corrode and bind, causing the secondary hood latch to remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.

Consequence

If the hood is not securely closed or the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Corrective Action

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the secondary latch cable, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin June 30, 2017. Owner's may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for the recall is 163.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Drive

NHTSA recall information identifies two safety concerns for the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The hood latch cable may corrode and bind, leaving the secondary latch unlatched and allowing the hood to open while driving if the primary latch releases. The driver's seat belt anchor bolt may also be insufficiently tightened, creating a risk that the belt could come unanchored in a collision. Waiting can leave these risks unresolved during everyday driving. Because both remedies are free when applicable, checking your VIN promptly is a practical way to protect the driver, passengers, and other people sharing Tampa roads.
