Chronology :

November 2021
On November 26, 2021, HMC discovered a condition on a HEV vehicle in which the IP clusterโ€™s LCD displayed an inverted image. HMC began investigating manufacturing records for potential causes.

On December 16, 2021, NASO was notified by HMC of a concern involving recent IP clusters with incorrect resistors that were installed into certain HyundaieBay logo Santa Fe HEV/PHEV vehicles. NASO conducted a review of field information and did not locate any related incidents in the U.S. market; however, based on HMC and the assembly plantโ€™s information, NASO escalated the investigation to its Technical Review Committee for further assessment. On December 20, NASO convened its North America Safety Decision Authority and decided to initiate a new recall for all affected vehicles in the U.S. market.

Regarding field claim counts from all available data sources at the time of the filing, HyundaieBay logo is not aware of any incidents, crashes, fires, or injuries related to the defect condition in the U.S.
