Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling approximately 34,964 of its 2024 Santa Fe and 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid vehicles. The overhead console rear sunshade switch knob may not be fully recessed, which can cause the sunshade to close unintentionally. This defect violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 118, and Hyundai dealers will replace the switch knobs for free to correct the issue.

Risk

The rear sunshade can operate and close unexpectedly due to the switch knob design, which increases the risk of injury to occupants if they are caught in the path of the moving shade.
