Consumer Description

Our 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport's engine seized and shut down in traffic Saturday night, 3/11/22, while my family and I were out grabbing food. We barely made it into a parking lot before it stopped moving. We got it towed to our regular repair shop. After inspecting it early in the week, they told us the engine had seized and was dead and that we should contact the service center at the dealership. We get regular maintenance, and there was no prior warning. Looking online, there is a recall on "some" 2013-2014 Santa Fe Sport's for the engine - "...there have been instances of stalling, meaning the engine may stop running while the vehicle is being driven." is just part of the recall info. Somehow our vin number isn't on this list. I'm asking for the recall to open up to more vin numbers.
