Known issues to check on a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
- Theta II Four-Cylinder Engine Recall, Settlement and KSDS Campaign (2013–2019)
2013-2014 Santa Fe Sport 2.4L and 2.0L turbo engines were recalled for machining debris that can cause premature connecting rod bearing wear and engine seizure (NHTSA 17V-226; a follow-up 18V-934 addresses fuel pipes damaged during engine replacement). 2013-2018 Santa Fe Sport and 2019 Santa Fe four-cylinders are also in Hyundai's Theta II class settlement, which provides lifetime short-block coverage for bearing failure (conditions apply) and the Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) software update.
What to do: Confirm the recall and KSDS update are complete and ask a Hyundai dealer about warranty coverage for the VIN. - ABS Module Fire-Risk Recalls (2011-2018) (2011–2018)
Several recalls address ABS modules that can short internally and cause an engine-compartment fire, even when parked: 2010-2012 Santa Fe and 2013-2015 three-row Santa Fe (23V-651), 2013-2015 Santa Fe Sport (20V-520, replaced by 21V-303), and 2016-2018 Santa Fe and 2017-2018 Santa Fe Sport (22V-056). Hyundai advised parking outside until repaired.
What to do: Do not buy until the applicable ABS recall shows complete, or have a Hyundai dealer complete it first. - Tow Hitch Harness Fire Risk and Hood Latch Recalls (2013–2023)
Certain 2019-2023 Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid models with a tow hitch harness can collect water on a circuit board and short, creating a fire risk while parked or driving (23V-181). Certain 2013-2017 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport models have a secondary hood latch cable that may corrode and bind (17V-358).
What to do: Confirm these recalls on hitch-equipped and 2013-2017 vehicles. - Anti-Theft Software Update (Key-Start Models) (2013–2022)
Key-start 2013-2022 Santa Fe, 2013-2018 Santa Fe Sport and 2019 Santa Fe XL models are eligible for Hyundai's free 2023 anti-theft software update, which requires the key fob to unlock the vehicle before it will start. Push-button-start models are not affected.
What to do: Ask a Hyundai dealer to confirm the update; it is free. - Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, Santa Fe XL, Hybrid and PHEV Disambiguation (2011–2026)
The name covers very different vehicles: the 2011-2012 two-row Santa Fe; the 2013-2018 two-row Santa Fe Sport versus the three-row V6 Santa Fe; the 2019 Santa Fe XL (old three-row) versus the new two-row Santa Fe; 2021-2023 gas, Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid two-row models; and the 2024-on three-row Santa Fe. The Santa Cruz pickup is a separate model. Resolve model, engine and seating by VIN.
What to do: Confirm exactly which Santa Fe, engine and seating layout you are buying before comparing prices.
Recall applicability varies by model (Santa Fe, Sport or XL), year, engine, transmission, production date and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls, confirm Theta II engine campaign status on 2013-2019 four-cylinders, and confirm the anti-theft update on key-start models.
