2008 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Recalls Canada & USA

2008 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk from moisture entering the anti-lock brake module, which can cause an electrical short and ignite an engine compartment fire even with the vehicle turned off. The two remaining recalls both involve airbag protection. The driver's airbag clock spring, a coiled electrical connector behind the steering wheel, can wear and develop high resistance over time, preventing the driver's airbag from deploying in a crash. The front passenger seat's occupant classification system may also need recalibration, as it can misidentify small-statured adults and suppress the passenger airbag in a crash.
