2022 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Cruz Turbocharger Oil Pipe Fire Risk Recall

Hyundai is recalling 2022 Santa Fe and Santa Cruz vehicles because the turbocharger oil supply pipe may crack, causing an oil leak that could increase fire risk in the engine compartment.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 source text does not report any deaths, injuries, or property damage, and the hazard is theoretical (the pipe 'may' crack, fire is a potential risk). Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score as High.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2022 Santa Fe and Santa Cruz vehicles. The turbocharger oil supply pipe may crack, which could allow oil to leak into the engine compartment.

When oil leaks in the engine compartment, it can come into contact with hot engine or exhaust components, which act as ignition sources. This could increase the risk of a fire.

Affected owners should contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Dealers will replace the turbocharger oil supply pipe free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 26, 2022. Owners can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
