What This Recall Means

Component

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WARNING LIGHT/DEVICES

What Happened
The warning light for your front seat belts in your Santa Fe is a crucial safety feature that alerts you when you or a front passenger forgets to buckle up. Unfortunately, in some 2016-2017 models, the wires that power this light could be damaged by the seat adjuster and fail to turn on.
Risk if Unfixed
If the warning light fails, you or your passenger might forget to buckle your seat belt, which increases your risk of injury or even death in the event of a crash. This is a serious safety issue that could put you or your loved ones in harm's way.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will inspect and fix the wiring in your front seat belt buckle harnesses for free. Just schedule an appointment as soon as you get the recall notice, and the repair will be done at no cost to you.
