— More than 13,100 Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs are recalled because they can roll away even when the gear shifters are in PARK.

The recalled 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe transmission control units may have software errors.

According to Hyundai, the Santa Fe dual clutch transmission can be damaged because software errors can engage the clutch and damage the transmission case and parking pawl.

A Santa Fe driver should be aware of noise from the parking pawl, problems shifting into PARK or other gears and any vehicle movement when parked.
