Hyundai is recalling approximately 12,349 of its 2024 Santa Fe vehicles because of a software error in the transmission control unit. This defect can cause the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly even when the gear shifter is set to PARK. Hyundai is offering a free software update and will inspect or replace the dual clutch transmission if any damage is found.
A software error can prevent the transmission from properly engaging the parking mechanism. This allows the vehicle to move while unattended, which significantly increases the risk of a crash, property damage, or injury to bystanders.
