Some Hyundai Elantra Hybrid vehicles have a part called the hybrid power control unit, which is part of the hybrid drive system. This unit may overheat during normal use of the vehicle. Hyundai is recalling these vehicles so dealers can update the software to fix the overheating issue. The software update is meant to prevent the unit from getting too hot while the vehicle is being driven.
Certain Hyundai vehicles have a damaged printed circuit board in the rearview camera. Because of this, the rearview camera image may fail to display. This means the vehicle does not meet a federal safety standard for rear visibility.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
