What Happened
The rearview camera in your vehicle is an important safety system that shows you what's behind your car when you're in reverse. In some 2021-2022 Santa Fe, Elantra, and Elantra N models, the camera's printed circuit board could be damaged, causing the image to not display.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image doesn't show up, you'll have reduced visibility behind your vehicle, which could make it harder to spot obstacles or people. This increases the risk of a crash, especially when reversing.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the rearview camera at no cost to you. Now that you've received your letter, contact your dealer to confirm repair availability and schedule the free replacement.
