Hyundai announces recall for Santa Fes, Elantras

Hyundai announced a recall of 226,118 Santa Fe and Elantra vehicles in the United States due to a defect in the rearview camera that could increase the risk of accidents. 

The recall, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published Nov. 21, includes the 2021-2022 Santa Fe, Santa Fe HEV, Elantra and Elantra HEV models, as well as the 2022 Elantra N and Santa Fe PHEV. The issue involves a damaged printed circuit board that may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying, significantly reducing rearward visibility and increasing the risk of injury while reversing, according to the recall notice.

Hyundai attributes the defect to insufficient solder joints on the camera’s circuit board, which may degrade over time. To address this, Hyundai dealerships will replace the rearview cameras at no cost to vehicle owners, the recall notice states. It says it will send notifications to affected owners by Jan. 19, 2025.

Consumers should stop using the affected treats immediately and either dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
