On August 16, 2022, HMA Legal sent a notification to NASO of a thermal event involving a model year 2018 Santa Fe Sport not included in Recall 218 (22V-056). NASO requested KaGA to clarify the incident vehicleโ€™s inapplicability to Recall 218.

On August 22, 2022, KaGA responded that the incident vehicle was equipped with a HECU part number that was not included in the scope of Recall 218 as indicated by HMC.

 

โ– October 2022

On October 13, 2022, HMA Legal provided a notification to NASO of another thermal event, involving a model year 2018 Santa Fe Sport not included in Recall 218. NASO contacted HMC to clarify a reason for the VIN exclusion of both incident vehicles.

On October 19, 2022, HMC communicated that KaGA inadvertently excluded applicable model year 2018 Santa Fe Sport vehicles produced between May 2017 and May 2018.

On October 21, 2022, NASO informed ODI of the concern related to the omitted VIN population and discussed immediate and long-term steps, not only to resolve the concern but also to prevent it in the future.

On October 24, 2022, NASO met with ODI, and ODI provided a direction to file a new recall for the omitted Santa Fe Sport vehicles. NASO convened its North America Safety Decision Authority and decided to file a new safety recall to address a condition to include the omitted Santa Fe Sport vehicle population from Recall 218.

As of the date of this filing, HyundaieBay logo has confirmed four (4) unique fire incidents of model year 2018 Santa Fe Sport, produced by KaGA, in the U.S., including two (2) fires noted in Recall 218 (22V-056) Chronology and two (2) fires from the omitted VIN population.
