This marked drop in owner issues underscores the model’s growing reliability and positions the 2025 Santa Fe as a dependable choice within its segment.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe registers 117 complaints, representing a decline from 2024's 131 complaints and five recalls versus seven the prior year, while maintaining an identical technical service bulletin count of 36. Positioned within a downward trend from the 2021-2023 period—which saw complaint volumes between 162 and 200—the 2025 model carries zero federal investigations and shows diverse complaint categories led by "Unknown Or Other" (16), tires (13), visibility/wipers (9), and forward collision avoidance (7), with no single dominant failure pattern indicated. The year records five crash complaints and zero fire complaints, with the sharp drop to 28 complaints in 2026 suggesting the latter reflects incomplete reporting rather than a quality spike. Given the reduced complaint volume, moderate recall activity, and absence of investigation or fire-related flags compared to earlier model years, the 2025 Santa Fe appears to be a favorable used vehicle acquisition.
