The short answer
NHTSA received Hyundai Motor America’s report on Dec 28, 2021. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
An illegible instrument cluster will not show information such as vehicle speed or safety system warnings, which can increase the risk of a crash.
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.”
