Original — What Happened
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured September 1, 2015 to February 12, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses may be damaged by the seat's height adjuster mechanism, resulting in a failure to provide an audible warning when front seat occupants do not fasten their seat belts. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Without a warning to remind the front seat occupants that their seat belts are not buckled, they may forget to buckle their seat belt, increasing their risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reroute the wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses to their proper locations, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 27, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 141.
The secondary hood latch in your Santa Fe or Santa Fe Sport is a critical part that helps keep your hood closed when driving. Over time, the cable that operates it can corrode and jam, causing the latch to stay open.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hood is not properly closed or the primary latch is accidentally released, the hood could suddenly swing open while you're driving — which could distract you and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty latch cable with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
