What's wrong?
The tire sidewall on a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe is the outer wall of the tire between the tread and the wheel rim. It holds the tire's shape, protects the internal cords, and helps the tire carry vehicle load while it flexes over bumps and turns. On the affected Santa Fe vehicles, the recall focuses on P235/65R17 103T Continental Crosscontact LX tires.
The problem is damage to the sidewall. A sidewall is not a cosmetic part; it is part of the tire's structure. When that area is damaged, the tire no longer has the full support it was designed to provide. The recall summary identifies the damaged tire sidewall as the defect, not a separate Hyundai suspension, brake, or steering problem.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on tread depth, normal tire pressure, or a smooth ride to rule out this recall, because the VIN and tire equipment decide whether the vehicle is included.

Not every 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A damaged tire sidewall can let the belt edges separate. That separation can lead to tread detachment or rapid air loss, increasing the risk of a crash. If your VIN is included, have the tire recall checked before relying on the vehicle for regular driving. Repair will be free at any franchised Hyundai dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Hyundai dealer if your VIN is included, and ask whether the replacement-tire remedy is already recorded for your vehicle.
- Reference recall number 13V624 when you call so the dealer can look up the tire-sidewall recall quickly.
- Avoid driving on a tire with visible sidewall damage, tread separation, rapid air loss, or low pressure; ask the dealer before moving the vehicle.
- Call Hyundai Customer Care Center at 1-800-633-5151 with questions about the recall history for your VIN.
What happens at the repair
For this campaign, Hyundai told dealers to stop selling affected Santa Fe vehicles equipped with P235/65R17 103T Continental Crosscontact LX tires and replace those tires with alternative tires before retail sale. Hyundai states all affected vehicles were remedied before sale. If a VIN still shows this recall as open, ask a Hyundai dealer to confirm the tire replacement record and complete the recall tire replacement at no charge once available.
