Google is your friend . Or the Hyundai web site will list dealers near you . This is primarily a USofA forum and I don’t think we have any regular posters from Puerto Rico . Edit : I just used Google and it showed 3 Hyundai dealers in Puerto Rico . If I can do that it must not be that difficult. ---

Sort of a security feature. Have you tried the key in the video? ---

Anyone else here miss the days when there was a physical lock cylinder on the trunk lid/rear hatch, and a physical connection from the remote release lever to the trunk/rear hatch lock mechanism? I sure do. (Those days never ended for me, though, because I would never buy a car that doesn’t have this feature, and a physical lock cylinder on the passenger’s front door as well.) ---

After you check any fuses, you might try pushing down on the trunk lid when you try to release the latch. Sometimes that takes pressure off the latch and lets it move. ---

Also had one a piece of dropcloth hung up in the latch, was able to pull it up manually then all was good. ---

> [@Rafarey](#): > > to fix this problem under the 208 campaign Campaign 208 involves replacing the trunk latch assembly and will likely solve the problem. Use the dealer locater on the Hyundai web site. [HMA TSB (nhtsa.gov)](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2021/RCRIT-21V619-9761.pdf)
