I gotta ask, what's a brink latch?

EDIT: I see it's the tonneau cover latch🥴

I think he means "brunk" (Bed tRUNK)

Brunk

Yes. Sorry the bed mini trunk

So you're talking about the latch on the actual in-bed trunk, and not the tonneau cover?

Being that @Gmk98 has a SE, it can't have a tonneau cover.

Do you have a recall ID number?

Reason I ask is that my brunk is a bear to get open. I have to work with it for awhile to finally get it to unlock and open. So if it IS a recall on the brunk latch, I'm all over it.

My quick searches didn't yield any recalls at all for the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, even though some have confirmed the tanneau cover issue. 🤷‍♂️

The tension of the tonneau cover being pulled towards the canister puts tension on the latch. It can make it hard to depress the handle. Use the tonneau handle "surround" to pull it towards you. As you have it pulled towards you, depress the handle will be easy move and release the latch.

I use my four fingers to pull it back and my thumb to depress the handle. No issues doing it this way.

A "Recall" is a safety issue. Fixing the latch is a repair campaign.

No, I'm talking about the release handle for the in-bed trunk, not the tonneau.

Hmm - that's weird, one push on the button for me and it pops right open. It does sound like you have a problem.

Yeah, I have to lift/pull the in-bed trunk open; feels like I am fighting the soft close struts.

It is only for SCs manufactured during a certain timeframe -- I called the dealer and gave them my VIN and mine is (theoretically) not affected. Manufacture date for mine was 7/22.
