Recently, I took my 2018 Santa Fe SE into the dealer to have the two recalls (Campaign 218 and 961) worked on. When I went to picked up my repaired Santa Fe, the BSD, ABS, and TRACTION lights popped up on the dash and after calling the dealership twice, with no responses, I'm wondering if anyone else has
had these issues, all at the same time, after recalls were corrected. Thanks for any help.

couple of options:
Check your owner's manual and find the fuse/fuses for the BDS/ABS/ Traction control . Normally in the fuse box in the engine compartment ...possibly 40Amp .Should be listed on the underside of the fuse box lid. check that the fuse (or fuses) are properly seated and are not 'blown'.
Check also that the ABS control module has been properly seated in its socket
Here's a reference to the US Market Hyundai Santa Fe owner's manual...you can search the pdf file for ABS etc


you may need to go back to the dealership to get a satisfactory outcome...

This same exact thing happened to me on my 2016 Sante Fe Sport. Took it in to have abs module fuse recall completed. One week after that was completed all of these codes started to show on the car. Took it to the dealer and they said it was unrelated to that recall and the passenger wheel
Hub sensor is going bad. I haven’t gotten it fixed yet as I wanted to wait to see if there were other people experiencing this same issue post recall
Update. Did you ever figure out a fix for this?

I believe it's the Rear Wheel Speed Sensor. At least that is what it was three times on my 2016. If it's still under warranty have the dealer fix it, over $400.00 at dealer. If out of warranty, go to Certified shop for much lower costs. They can still use Hyundai parts and cost you much less. Three time for me...two on the right rear and once on the left. BTW, I had the brakes done at a repair shop. The service manager at the Hyundai dealer, tried to bully me to believe the repair was not covered because I'd had the brakes done, somewhere other than them. I called BS and got in his face about dishonest business practices and they backed off so far and fast, I got the repair for free and a two day car rental! Don't let them bully you!

I have had these three lights pop on four times. For the first three times, the event followed, a trip to the dealer for a recall, totally not related to the three lights. The three lights in my case were the rear wheel sensor. Back to the dealer three times for the repair. Two times it was under warranty. The third time, the dealer charged me almost $400.00 to replace the wheel sensor. They did not put the rear rotor back on correctly and when I got about a mile down the road, the rear wheel was smoking hot! I returned to the dealer and they first said, they were not responsible for the brakes freezing up, because I took the car to a regular repair shop to have the rear brakes replaced, saving $250.00 over the dealers quoted price. I called BS to the service manager, the car was not making the noise when I came in for the repair and if you want to pursue this line of BS I'll call my attorney, NOW! They got me a rental car, repaired the brakes and another wheel sensor...I have not been back to the dealer. The fourth wheel sensor costs $225.00, (OEM PARTS) at my local repair shop. No troubles since keeping the car away from the Dealer. 2016 Santa Fe Sport 2.4 engine.

I have the same ongoing thing. I've had three ABS sensors replaced on the right and two replaced on the left, 2016 Santa Fe Sport. Just picked the car up, yesterday from the repair shop. The 3 lights were constantly on, in yellow, indicate the wheel (ABS) sensor is bad. Used to be able to get, just the sensor 'cable' to repair the issue, now you have to replace the whole sensor hub. My mechanic, at a private state certified shop, went with a high quality aftermarket replacement, half the cost if purchased from Hyundai. It seems to have some water proofing on the connection. I hope, this is the end of this nightmare. Still under $400.00 repair job, two of the replacements happened when the warranty was still on entire car. You can still drive the car, ABS doesn't work, but we all drove before that was the only choice. Would have been a $600.00 repair job, if I'd gone to the dealer.

Hyundai knows these are a problem and will lie to you. Sell the Santa Fe and go get toyota Rav 4 or Honda CRV. Hyundai dealership in concord NC will lie to you about the problem. The sensor will corrode and set off the lights. This happens in the rear wheels. Amazon sells the hubs and they are hard to replace. I have replaced mine and waterproofed them and now the Santa Fe is for sale. The car has been in the shop more for warranty work than service. Hyundai will lie to you just like they did about the GDI engines that were recalled.

Yes.same problem has just happened with my 2014 Santa Fe after Recal work to Replace a Fuse..Now the Hyundai Dealership says it is the Airbag Module ???No Airbag light visible ! and they want to sting me for $1300 to fix this problem..I am very angry as changing a Fuse should not have caused this problem..I trusted the dealership to carry out the Recall without any further problems. This is not the case. DO NOt take your Hyundai to the Dealership in Melville, West Oz, They are Incompetant and will Ruin your vehicle....So angry, Now i am left with a vehicle with 3 lights on dash, ie, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND YAW. I will be speaking to the Dealerships General Manager, regarding our vehicle, tomorrow, so will update this Post shortly.
Being an almost retired Trade Qualified mechanic, I have just purchased an XTOOL D8S Scanner so i can fix the vehicle my self..Do the same if your handy around vehicles and avoid dealerships at All Costs.

The first three years of my 2016 Santa Fe ownership, I had free Oil changes from the dealer, so I went. Something else always went wrong with the car about two weeks after the oil change. I stopped going to the dealer after those three years and only had two wheel sensors replaced in 6 years. I have seen Chevrolet dealers and Subaru dealers close because of dishonest service practices and have NO DOUBT, the Hyundai dealers do the same. Take your 2014 to a local, certified repair shop and see what they say!
