Hyundai Equipment Recalls for Incorrect Tire and Warning Labels
These Hyundai equipment recalls concern incorrect or missing labels rather than a shared mechanical defect. Tucson appears twice: certain 2024 vehicles have tire labels that incorrectly describe spare-tire information despite having no spare tire onboard, and certain 2025 vehicles may lack the glove box air bag warning label. Certain 2020 Sonata vehicles have incorrect tire-size information on both the driver's-door tire pressure label and in the owner's manual. Certain 2020 Kona vehicles have an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating on the certification label. The notices link these information problems to wrong tire selection, possible overloading, emergency tire-replacement confusion or reduced awareness of child air bag risks.
Warning signs to watch for
- The notices for these recalls do not describe any warning sign an owner would notice.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of these four equipment notices carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The 2020 Sonata tire-size-label notice, recall 190, does not tell owners to stop driving. The 2025 Tucson missing air bag warning-label notice, recall 268, does not tell owners to stop driving. The 2020 Kona certification-label notice concerning the Gross Axle Weight Rating does not tell owners to stop driving. The 2024 Tucson spare-tire-information-label notice, recall 247, does not tell owners to stop driving.
What the free repair involves
For recall 190, dealers install corrected stickers on the Sonata tire pressure label and in its owner's manual. Dealers apply corrected Kona certification-label stickers under its weight-rating recall. Recall 247 requires tire-label inspection and replacement as necessary. Hyundai mails warning labels for recall 268. Each supplied notice states its remedy is free of charge.
