What Happened
The rearview camera in your Santa Fe or Elantra is a crucial safety feature that helps you see what's behind your vehicle when you're reversing. But in some 2021-2022 models, the camera's electronic board can be damaged, causing the image to fail to display.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image is blocked, you'll have reduced visibility while reversing, which could lead to a crash or collision with another vehicle, person, or object.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty rearview camera with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice – it's free and necessary for your safety.
