The 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport has 5 recalls, the most serious being an ABS module that can short-circuit and start an engine compartment fire whether the vehicle is parked or being driven.
Two recalls cover the side curtain airbags: a component inside the inflator can detach when the airbag deploys, preventing it from inflating fully in a crash and reducing protection for occupants. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, which is why it appears across more than one filing. On the suspension side, a front coil spring can fracture under load while driving, and if it does, the broken spring can puncture a tire and cause the driver to lose control.
