Why This Matters: Increased Crash Risk
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) has announced a safety recall, identified as recall number 288 (NHTSA ID 25V808000), for certain 2024-2025 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid vehicles. The primary concern is a potential defect in the rearview camera installation.
If the rearview camera image does not display, it significantly reduces the driver's ability to see behind the vehicle. This impaired rear visibility directly increases the risk of a crash, posing a safety hazard to vehicle occupants and pedestrians.
What's Being Recalled
This 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe recall affects approximately 143,472 units of the 2024-2025 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid models. The issue stems from the rearview camera not being installed correctly during manufacturing. This improper installation can lead to damage to the camera's wiring harness.
When the wiring harness is damaged, the rearview camera image may fail to display on the vehicle's screen. This condition means the vehicles do not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, which pertains to "Rear Visibility."
How to Check if Your Vehicle is Affected
Owners of 2024-2025 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid vehicles can determine if their specific vehicle is included in this safety recall. You can check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website at NHTSA.gov.
The VINs involved in this 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov starting November 22, 2025. It is important to verify your vehicle's status to ensure your safety and compliance.
Manufacturer's Remedy
To address the rearview camera display issue, Hyundai dealers will perform the necessary repair free of charge. The remedy involves replacing the damaged camera wiring harness with a new one. This repair is designed to restore proper function to the rearview camera system.
