2021 Hyundai Santa Fe History Check

About the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe

The 2021 model year of the Hyundai Santa Fe sits in the TM generation, a large 7-seat suv that was Australia's #45-best-selling new vehicle in 2024. Santa Fe TM (2018-2024) is appearing in volume on the used market as families upgrade to the all-new MX5. Diesel variants in particular need DPF service-history verification (short-trip family use clogs the filter quickly).

2021-specific issues to verify

These reliability concerns affect Hyundai Santa Fe examples from this generation. Service history (verifiable via PPSR notation) is the critical purchase factor.

1. DPF blockages on 2.2L diesel (urban-only examples)
2. Knock-sensor recalls on certain 2.4L Theta II petrol VIN ranges
3. Rear hatch power-lift motor wear
4. Third-row seat folding mechanism alignment after heavy use
