Alabama (WDNews) – Hyundai is recalling nearly 50,000 of its 2024 Santa Fe models, including Santa Fe HEV vehicles, due to a wiring harness issue. These vehicles were built at the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) plant in Montgomery.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the main floor wiring harness may chafe against the passenger-side second-row bench seat assembly, potentially causing damage. This damage could lead to unintentional airbag deployment or failure of the airbags to deploy during a crash, significantly increasing the risk of injury.
Hyundai dealers will inspect, repair, or replace the wiring harness free of charge. Owner notification letters will be mailed out on September 23, 2024. For more information, owners can contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 and reference recall number 265.
The Santa Fe is one of several models manufactured at the HMMA assembly plant in Montgomery.
