What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical system failure (TPMS) that increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2017 Santa Fe Sport vehicles due to a defect in the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The TPMS may not have been set in the correct mode during vehicle assembly, meaning it will not provide an appropriate warning if a tire becomes underinflated. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138.

An underinflated tire can increase the risk of a crash. The recall affects 2017 model year Santa Fe Sport vehicles.

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS sensors free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
