6 recalls covering model years 2022, 2023, 2025, 2026. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Hyundai is recalling certain Elantra and Elantra N vehicles because the nuts that hold the wheels in place may loosen. A wheel could come off the vehicle. The recall also includes certain Elantra Hybrid and Venue vehicles. Dealers will inspect and tighten the wheel nuts and replace the wheel hub bearing assembly if needed. This work is free of charge.
On certain Hyundai Elantra N, Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, and Elantra vehicles, the side-impact sensors in the B-pillar may have been put together incorrectly, which can delay the airbags from deploying.
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.
Certain Hyundai and Genesis vehicles, including the Veloster N, Genesis G70, Elantra N, and Kona N, may have a fuel pump that fails. If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle can lose engine power while being driven. Some owners were sent an early letter warning them about this safety risk before the full notice with the repair information went out.
These vehicles have a backup driving mode meant to keep the car moving if the transmission's oil pump fails. That backup mode may not work properly, and this can lead to a complete loss of drive power. Losing drive power while driving increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the transmission and replace it if needed, and will also update the transmission's computer software, all free of charge.
On these Hyundai Elantra and Elantra N cars, the emblem on the cover of the driver's front airbag may not have been welded on properly. Because of that weld, the emblem can separate from the cover when the airbag goes off. The remedy is a full replacement of the airbag rather than a repair to the cover, and a dealer will do this work at no cost. Hyundai has already mailed letters to owners about the recall.
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.

NHTSA lists 6 safety recalls covering the 2022–2026 Hyundai Elantra N. 4 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Hyundai Elantra and Elantra N Wheels May Detach" (NHTSA campaign 26V693000), reported Oct 21, 2026.
The 2022 Hyundai Elantra N has the most, with 4 recalls. The 2023 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 6 Hyundai Elantra N recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
