Known issues on the 2026 Santa Fe. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Connecting rod bolts in the engine may have been improperly tightened, risking loss of drive power, engine damage and an oil leak, and dealers replace the engine. The side curtain air bags may not have been installed properly, so dealers reinstall them. A software error may cause the instrument panel display to fail, fixed by an over-the-air or dealer update. The driver and passenger seat belt anchors may detach and are reinforced or replaced. The engine, air bag, instrument cluster and seat belt procedures are all detailed in this manual.
