Known issues on the 2012 Santa Fe. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it is filed against the engine: Hyundai recalled certain 2012 Santa Fe vehicles over the connecting rod bearings inside the engine.

From engine bottom-end diagnosis to routine service on the 3.5L V6 or the 2.4L four-cylinder, it keeps your 2012 Santa Fe on the OEM procedure and the correct specification.
