What's wrong?
The rearview camera unit on affected 2024-2025 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid vehicles sends the view behind the vehicle to the dashboard screen when reverse is selected. That image helps the driver see the area directly behind the SUV during backing and parking. The camera depends on a small wiring harness staying secure and making clean electrical contact.
On these vehicles, the supplier assembled the camera's main wire harness with cable routing that allowed extra tension. Some harnesses were twisted, which wore the cable's shield line and made the connection at the camera less stable. When that contact weakens, the camera signal drops and the rearview image does not appear on the vehicle display.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the missing rearview camera image after shifting into reverse, so use mirrors and turn to check behind the vehicle until the repair is complete.
Who's affected?
Covers Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid variants across the 2024 and 2025 model years, with each scope tied to the rear view camera display function.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the rearview image does not display, the driver loses part of the view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash while backing up. There is no warning sign before the image fails. Check behind the vehicle carefully and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Hyundai dealer.
