The Santa Fe, specifically the Hyundai Santa Fe, can come with different engine options, some of which are interference engines while others are not. Typically, the 2.4L and 3.3L engines are considered interference engines, meaning that if the timing belt or chain fails, the pistons could collide with the valves. It's essential to check the specific engine model and year for accurate information. Always refer to the vehicle’s manual or a trusted mechanic for detailed specifications.
