The records describe a problem worth checking before purchase.

“Certain 2013 – 2019 model year Santa Fe/Santa Fe XL vehicles equipped with 3.3L Lambda II GDI engines may experience abnormal engine noise or engine damage. At Hyundai, we are committed to providing vehicles of outstanding quality and value. In an effort to meet this commitment, the warranty coverage for certain engine repairs and/or replacement related to eligible conditions has been extended to 15 years/150,000 miles from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use (whichever occurs first) and is valid for original and subsequent owners. Eligibility for this warranty coverage is determined upon an inspection of the vehicle’s engine.”
