Hyundai is recalling about 6,100 2010 Santa Fe two-wheel drive vehicles with automatic transmissions and 2.4-liter engines.
The company said misalignment of the intermediate driveshaft can cause a whirring, whining noise and can eventually damage the transmission, which could cause the car to stall.
Dealers will replace the affected parts free of charge when the recall begins during June 2011.
Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
