What Happened

Your Hyundai Santa Fe has a label on the driver's side pillar that lists the vehicle's weight limits. Unfortunately, this label is incorrect and may lead to incorrect loading of your vehicle.

Risk if Unfixed

If you overload your vehicle based on the wrong weight limits, it could affect how your car handles and brakes, which might cause a tire blowout and a crash without warning.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Hyundai will send you a corrected label with instructions, and your dealer will install it for free if you prefer. Just schedule the repair when you receive the notice.
