Hyundai is recalling certain 2022 Santa Fe PHEV and HEV vehicles because the instrument cluster display may invert upon startup, making it illegible and preventing drivers from seeing speed and safety warnings.

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: This recall involves a risk-of-harm vehicle defect: an illegible instrument cluster that prevents drivers from seeing safety-critical information like speed and warnings. No injuries or property damage have been reported. Per the rubric, this meets the criterion for score 3 (High): a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2022 Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid and Santa Fe Hybrid vehicles. The instrument cluster LCD may invert the image on the screen upon startup, rendering the display illegible and unable to show vehicle speed, warnings, or other critical driving information.

An illegible instrument cluster increases the risk of a crash because drivers cannot see essential driving information or safety system alerts.

Owners have been notified by mail. Hyundai dealers will replace the affected instrument cluster free of charge. Contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 for service appointments.
