No issue here, but then again i just took delivery this week on my Hybrid Calligraphy

 

Why do they need to be closed when parked? anyone knows the benefits of this design? Since most cars if not all don’t have this feature it seems to be just an unnecessary item that can affect the cooling system if malfunction.

 

Update: Dealership is still waiting on Hyundai engineers to find a solution for this. Possible re-design or new placement for the box that holds the wiring for Air Flap system. This is turning out be quite known issue so they are working on solution in factory. My car is now sitting in lot till indefinite time now

 

No problems here after 2700 miles on Hybrid Calligraphy AWD. Can't get weathertech rear floor mats, but that's not a Hyundai problem.

 

I've had the same problem. I was getting a "check active air flap system" that would come and go and finally a check engine alert. First I was told that it would be ready the next day or two, then they delayed and said they were waiting on the engineers to come from Hyundai to look at it. Then they told me they had to replace the engine harness. I've been getting the run around from the service department. They've had my vehicle (less than 3K miles on it) for about a month. Very discouraging

 

What state are you in?

Same issue here. "Waiting on parts" for over 6 weeks.

 

I have a 2025 Santa Fe. Had check engine light, active air flap malfunction message, no blower fan, and no power windows. Dropped at the dealership on 4/18/25. After 2 weeks, they told me it was a blown fuse block, but the fuse blocks were on back order. On 5/14/25, I was told fuse block arrived. On 5/15/25, I was told fuse block was installed and the wanted to keep car and test drive for another day or two. On 5/17/25, I received a call to say car was running fine and was ready to be picked up. I asked if they found the cause of the blown fuse block. They said no. I picked the car up on 5/17/25. And surprise, surprise, on 5/20/25, the check engine light came back on, with the active air flap malfunction message, no blower fan, and yes, no power windows. Today, 5/21/25, I just dropped car back at the dealership. So they had it for 29 days and figured out nothing. Let's see what happens this time.

 

Bought my Calligraphy a month ago and had the air flap sensory issue come up already. Took it into the dealership (4k miles) and they were able to fix it that day - tightened several pins. No issues afterwards. That was just 4 days ago.

 

Update. Got my 2025 Santa Fe back about 3 weeks ago. They replaced the airflap system in the grill, and so far, so good. Hopefully it lasts.

 

Not the same, but my wife’s Altima has powered shutters to control air flow to the radiator and a rock must of hit it and damaged it. Initially the dealer said it wasn’t covered, but a year later a different manager, same dealer, ordered a new one. I see this is an issue with Nissans, and I hope my Santa Fe doesn’t experience a similar incident. I too don’t see that they are really necessary.
