Once I tried different brands, the smell would be gone with some, but not others. It never threw a code, so I just learned to live with it.

The smell finally went away, but still comes and goes, depending on the gasoline used.
Since the Santa Fe has hideous performance, one will tend to mash the pedal, thereby dumping fuel, creating heat and cooking the cats.
