Recall Alert: 2016-2017 Hyundai Santa Fe

CARS.COM

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 34,000 model-year 2016-17 Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs manufactured between Sept. 1, 2015, and Feb. 12, 2016

The Problem: The wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses may be damaged by the seat's height adjuster mechanism, resulting in failure to provide an audible warning when front seat occupants do not fasten their seat belts. As a result, passengers may forget to buckle their seat belts, increasing their risk of an injury in a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect and reroute the wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses to their proper locations for free.

What Owners Should Do: Hyundai will begin notifying owners May 6. Owners can call the automaker at 800-633-5151, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
