What's wrong?
The overhead console rear sunshade switch knob in 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid SUVs sits in the roof console and controls the power sunshade. In normal use, that knob should be recessed enough that casual contact with the overhead console does not activate the sunshade.
On affected SUVs, the knob is not fully recessed. It sits proud enough that an unintended touch can trigger the sunshade to close. Hyundai's remedy part is 2.3mm more recessed than the recalled part, so the switch is less exposed to accidental contact.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue shows up when the rear sunshade closes without the driver or passenger meaning to operate it, especially after contact near the overhead console.
Who's affected?
The affected part is the overhead console lamp assembly, so the listing includes wiring and visibility components for each model.

| Units affected | 34,964 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
An unexpected closing sunshade can injure an occupant. If your VIN is included, keep hands clear of the sunshade area and schedule the recall repair soon. The dealer will replace the switch knobs. Repair is free at any franchised Hyundai dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe or Santa Fe Hybrid is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Hyundai dealer to schedule the free switch-knob replacement that prevents unintended rear sunshade closing.
- Bring the recall notice if Hyundai mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V843 when you call.
- Keep hands and passengers clear of the rear sunshade until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Hyundai technician replaces the overhead console rear sunshade switch knobs so the switch is properly recessed and does not close the sunshade unintentionally. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you've already paid out of pocket for a repair tied to this recall condition, Hyundai's reimbursement plan covers eligible documented expenses. Bring your repair paperwork to the Hyundai service desk and ask how to submit the claim.
