How to identify it
2024–2025 Hyundai SANTA FE
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the starter motor's terminal cover may not have been installed properly. As a result, the positive terminal could be exposed and contact nearby components in a crash. If this happens, there could be a short circuit.
A short circuit could create the risk of a fire and/or injury.
What to do
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, reinstall the starter motor positive terminal cover.
