CarRecallWatch- Component
- TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
- Problem
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The affected vehicles have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that may not have been set in the correct mode during vehicle assembly, and therefore will not provide an appropriate warning in the event of an underinflated tire. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
- Risk
- An underinflated inflated tire can increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS sensors, free of charge. The recall began March 31, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for the recall is 159.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Some 2017 Santa Fe Sport vehicles may have a tire pressure monitoring system that was not set to the correct mode during assembly. As a result, the system may not give a proper warning when a tire is underinflated, and the vehicle does not meet federal tire pressure monitoring safety requirements.
An underinflated tire can increase the risk of a crash. Because the warning may not appear, you could drive on a low tire without knowing it. Check your tire pressures regularly until the repair is done.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS sensors free of charge. You can contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151 (Hyundai recall number 159), and you should check your VIN for any open recalls.
