Hyundai drivers must keep an eye on the mail as company issues warning if you own certain model
The business has alerted drivers of a specific Hyundai model about a design flaw and asked them to monitor their mail.
Owners have been cautioned that there is “a risk” of harm due to the problem.
After receiving the UK’s coveted Car of the Year title from Carwow, the Hyundai Santa Fewas is riding high today.
However, a strange malfunction in the cabin has caused an abrupt recall of the model’s North American output.
Earlier this year, the company found that the sunshade switch knob was not completely recessed when testing a prototype car.
As a result, the sunshade suddenly popped down as the car was moving.

Hyundai clarified that there is a chance of “pinching injuries” in addition to potential distractions on the road.
On June 14, the company’s headquarters subsequently notified its US division of the error, according to a report from AutoEvolution.
After more testing, it was discovered that some of the automobiles that had been supplied to the American market had the defect.
On July 29, Hyundai fixed the issue at its Ulsan assembly plant in South Korea after identifying the company that supplied the item.
Nevertheless, it took longer to reach the brand’s HMMA plant in Montgomery, Alabama, thus Santa Fes made there are now being recalled.
If owners are impacted, first-class mail will be used to notify them.

However, the recall mostly applies both internal combustion and hybrid Santa Fe models made at the Alabama plant between December 28, 2023, and October 9, 2024.
It is anticipated that letters will arrive “on or around” January 6, 2025.
You can look for a clue by looking at your car’s VIN if you wish to check before then.
All of the Santa Fes in Alabama have VINs that start with the number five and are 17 characters long.
By inputting the VIN on the Hyundai Motor America website, you may also individually verify your vehicle.
They will be able to take your car to the closest authorized dealership for repair if it is covered by the recall.
A replacement knob that is recessed an inch deeper will be installed by technicians.
The work will be completed without charge, including labor and part costs.
