Remedy Information

- Please see TSB 24-01-008H for full service procedure details and workflow by model.
- The procedure provided in TSB 24-01-008H (or latest version) provides the recall’s steps to inspect if the vehicle is equipped with a 4-PIN harness and to either replace the tow hitch harness or install the extension wire depending on the result of the multimeter reading. For the Santa Cruz ONLY, a jumper harness must be installed prior to the multimeter reading.
Inspection examples/Scenarios:
- Inspect the vehicle as per TSB 24-01-008H (or latest version) to determine if the vehicle is equipped with a 4-PIN wire harness.
Service Tips/Training
- If a customer arrives to the dealer with no appointment scheduled and parts are required for the repair, it is recommended for the dealer to offer alternative transportation to the customer while part(s) are ordered.
- If customer schedules an appointment in advance, order the parts if possible ahead of time to prevent any delays.
- Always inquire if the customer will have time for an additional service to be performed if they were originally scheduled for a different service.
- Offer SRC assistance for customers who may be pressed on time.
- Be honest with customers on wait times.
- If the service is taking longer than expected, update the customer.
- If you are unsure of certain processes, don’t guess. Take time to familiarize yourself with the proper procedures or ask for help/clarity from your teammates or leadership.
- If you see a team member having trouble addressing the concern, ask if you can provide some help.
Recommended Alternative Transportation
A Service Rental Vehicle (SRC) should be provided to customers who do not feel safe operating their vehicle until the remedy is complete. In addition, a SRC may be required based on any other additional work on the vehicle that may need to be addressed during customer’s visit. If a SRC is not available, other options such as a 3rd Party Rental or Rideshare may be provided.
Sample Customer Talk Track
- For customer with an appointment, but recall not part of the originally scheduled services: “I see that your vehicle has an open recall campaign that we would like to take care of for you while you are here today. This Recall Campaign 244 relates to the 4-PIN Genuine Hyundai
tow hitch wire harness. We will inspect your vehicle for the 4-PIN wire harness and repair the vehicle, as necessary. This service, of course, will be provided at no charge to you. If necessary, we would like to offer you an SRC while we repair your vehicle. We apologize for the severe inconvenience.”
- For Walk-in Customer: “During your visit today, I checked your vehicle for any open campaigns or recalls and found that your vehicle has an open recall with an available remedy. The recall states it is a condition related to the Genuine Hyundai
4-PIN tow hitch wire harness.
- For customers over the phone: “While I have you on the line and verifying your current appointment, I ran your VIN and see that your vehicle has an open recall that relates to the Genuine Hyundai
4-PIN wire harness. The recall’s remedy is to inspect for a 4-PIN wire harness on the vehicle and repair the vehicle, as necessary. This service, of course, will be provided at no charge to you.
If time permits, we can address this recall during your current appointment and it will be at no cost to you. Should you need transportation assistance during this time, we can help arrange an SRC since this may prolong the stay of your vehicle at service. Hyundai recommends owners to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
Customer FAQ
Q1: What is the issue?
A1: The subject vehicles may be equipped with a genuine Hyundai accessory tow hitch assembly available for purchase through Hyundai
as a Port Installed Option (PIO), as a Dealer Installed Option (DIO) or through over the counter part sale. The printed circuit board (“PCB”) in the trailer tow hitch harness module may be susceptible to water inflow through the trailer tow hitch wiring harness connector, resulting in an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could increase the risk of a tow hitch harness module fire while driving or while the vehicle is parked with the ignition off.
Q2: What are the affected vehicles?
A2: They include the following:
- 2019-2023MY Santa Fe (TM) produced 05/23/2018 – 03/20/2023
- 2021-2023MY Santa Fe Hybrid (TM HEV/TMa HEV) produced 12/18/2020 – 03/20/2023
- 2022-2023MY Santa Fe Plug-in (TM PHEV) produced 05/13/2021 – 03/03/2023
- 2022-2023MY Santa Cruz (NXT) produced 05/26/2021 – 03/20/2023
Q3: What is the safety concern?
A3: A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury to occupants or bystanders.
Q4: Have there been any accidents or injuries?
A4: As of the date of the filing to NHTSA (03/17/2023), Hyundai identified three (3) report(s) of fires that may relate to the defect condition in the U.S. There are no confirmed crashes or injuries related to this condition.
Q5: Will a Dealer Stop Sale be issued?
A5: A dealer “stop sale” has been issued in accordance with federal regulation for involved vehicles unsold at dealers.
Q6: What will be done during the recall service at the dealer?
A6: Owners can continue driving these vehicles; however, Hyundai recommends owners parking their vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed.
Owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by First Class Mail with instructions to bring their vehicles to a Hyundai dealer for inspection of the Genuine Hyundai
Accessory trailer tow hitch and 4-PIN wire harness and remedy, if necessary. If the vehicle is found to be equipped with a Genuine Hyundai
Accessory trailer tow hitch and 4-PIN wire harness, the vehicle will be further evaluated for either a wire extension harness repair or full to hitch harness assembly replacement. An updated 15A fuse and label to the junction box will also be installed on the vehicle. For Santa Cruz vehicles ONLY, a jumper harness will also be installed.
This remedy will be offered at no cost to owners for all affected vehicles, regardless of whether the affected vehicles are still covered under Hyundai’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Additionally, Hyundai
will provide owners of affected vehicles reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred to obtain a remedy for the recall condition in accordance with the reimbursement plan submitted to NHTSA on February 24, 2022.
Q7: When will owners be notified?
A7: Owners of the subject vehicles were previously provided an interim letter in late May 2023 via First Class
Mail with a reply card that gave them an option to notify Hyundai if their vehicle is equipped or not equipped with a Genuine Hyundai
Accessory trailer tow hitch & 4-PIN wire harness.
For Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, & Santa Fe Plug-in vehicles: Owners were notified via First Class Mail in July 2023 of a remedy available for their vehicle.
For Santa Cruz vehicles: Owners are expected to be notified via First Class Mail in early February 2024 of a remedy available for their vehicle.
RECALL 244 ATTACHMENT A (AMENDED – 2023.05.12)
CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS LEADING UP TO DEFECT DECISION
March – August 2022
❖ In March, HMA received a Legal case and Field report for two separate incidents involving model year 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles potentially related to the defect component. NASO’s Data Review Committee (“DRC”) opened a new registration and monitored field data for similar incidents involving Santa Fe vehicles in the U.S.
September 2022 – February 2023
❖ On September 29, 2022, the DRC reviewed and approved escalation of the investigation to the Technical Review Committee (“TRC”) citing similarities to the defect condition being addressed by Recall 235 (22V-633) filed on August 18, 2022, for certain model year Hyundai Palisade vehicles in the U.S. market1.
❖ From October 2022 to February 2023, TRC actively monitored field information for similar incidents while requesting both warranty returns and exemplar trailer harnesses from in-use vehicles for additional analysis by HMC and the supplier. This condition was also observed in trailer harnesses used in Hyundai Palisade vehicles involved in Recall 235 indicating the heat damage could be caused by internal electrical shorting due to fluid contamination within the trailer harness.
❖ On December 7, 2022, NASO reviewed its initial investigation with NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation during its monthly review of top safety investigations and topics.
❖ On January 25, 2023, NASO provided its first update of the investigation to ODI during the monthly review of top safety investigations and topics.
❖ On February 22, 2023, NASO provided its second update of the investigation to ODI during the monthly review of top safety investigations and topics.
March 2023
❖ On March 9, 2023, the TRC decided to recommend a safety recall to the North America Safety Decision Authority (“NASDA”) to address the defect condition in certain model year Santa Fe and Santa Cruz vehicles equipped with the subject trailer harness module.
❖ On March 10, 2023, NASDA reviewed TRC’s findings and decided to initiate a safety recall of affected Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Cruz vehicles equipped with SEGI-supplied trailer harness modules in the U.S. and Canada.
❖ As of the date of the initial filing, Hyundai has identified six (6) incidents potentially related to the defect component in the U.S., one (1) report of fire and five (5) reports of thermal damage isolated to the trailer harness module. There are no confirmed crashes or injuries related to this condition.

Certain tow hitch harness modules may develop an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could increase the risk of a tow hitch harness module fire while driving or while the vehicle is parked with the ignition off.
This bulletin provides the inspection procedure for vehicles NOT equipped with the trailer tow hitch and wire harness or only have the 7-PIN harness installed. For vehicles EQUIPPED with the 4-PIN wire harness, this bulletin provides the details for the 4-PIN extension/replacement, and the fuse replacement.

• 2022-2023MY Santa Fe Plug-in (TM PHEV) produced 05/13/2021 – 03/03/2023
Vehicle repairs related to safety recalls are critically important and must be performed properly in accordance with TSB procedures. Review this bulletin in its entirety prior to beginning any repair work.
As required by federal law, dealers must not deliver new vehicles for sale or for lease to customers until all open recalls have been performed.

A3: A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury to occupants or bystanders. Q4: Have there been any accidents or injuries?
A4: As of the date of the filing to NHTSA (03/17/2023), Hyundai identified three (3) report(s) of fires that may relate to the defect condition in the U.S. There are no confirmed crashes or injuries related to this condition.
Q5: Will a Dealer Stop Sale be issued?
A5: A dealer “stop sale” has been issued in accordance with federal regulation for involved vehicles unsold at dealers. Q6: What will be done during the recall service at the dealer?
A6: Owners can continue driving these vehicles; however, Hyundai recommends owners parking their vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed. Owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by First Class Mail with instructions to bring their vehicles to a Hyundai dealer for inspection of the Genuine Hyundai Accessory trailer tow hitch and 4-PIN wire harness and remedy, if necessary. If the vehicle is found to be equipped with a Genuine Hyundai Accessory trailer tow hitch and 4-PIN wire harness, the vehicle will be further evaluated for either a wire extension harness repair or full to hitch harness assembly replacement. An updated 15A fuse and label to the junction box will also be installed on the vehicle. For Santa Cruz vehicles ONLY, a jumper harness will also be installed. This remedy will be offered at no cost to owners for all affected vehicles, regardless of whether the affected vehicles are still covered under Hyundai’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Additionally, Hyundai will provide owners of affected vehicles reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred to obtain a remedy for the recall condition in accordance with the reimbursement plan submitted to NHTSA on February 24, 2022. Q7: When will owners be notified?
A7: Owners of the subject vehicles were previously provided an interim letter in late May 2023 via First Class Mail with a reply card that gave them an option to notify Hyundai if their vehicle is equipped or not equipped
