What is wrong
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2022 Santa Fe HEV and Santa Fe PHEV vehicles. The instrument cluster liquid-crystal display (LCD) may invert the image on the screen upon vehicle startup, making the display illegible. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Controls and Displays."
What can happen
An illegible instrument cluster will not show information such as vehicle speed or safety system warnings, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the instrument cluster, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 23, 2022. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 217.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

Bulletins for the same vehicles and component
| 22-HC-002H | 2022-08-24. Service bulletin. This bulletin addresses a warning light “Refill Inverter Coolant” displayed on the instrument cluster, but inspection of the under hood blue coolant reservoir is found to be at normal level (not below “MIN” marking on the reservoir bottle). This may be caused by poor flow of antifreeze inside the low-conductivity coolant pipe from internal debris, resulting in unusual high EWP operation being detected. Follow the procedure outlined in this bulletin to flush/discharge debris from the cooling system and replace the blue coolant. To effectively resolve, the flushing must be performed section by section as instructed. After flushing of the cooling system is done, updated BSC-2 coolant will be installed. |
