Component
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
What Happened
The secondary hood latch on your Santa Fe or Santa Fe Sport is a cable that helps keep the hood closed. Over time, this cable can corrode and get stuck, making it hard for the hood to latch properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable fails, your hood might not close all the way or could even open unexpectedly while you're driving. This could cause a crash, especially if something falls out of the engine compartment.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty cable with a new one, free of charge. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, but you can also contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059 to check the status of your recall.
